Subject: Computer Studies Grade 4

Unit # 3 Computational thinking: Making a quiz program

Topic 3.1 The input part of the program
Objective: Define how to plan and create a program that asks a question

Q.1 Why we need program requirement?

Ans: A program requirement tells you what a program is expected to do.

Here is an example:

Ask the user a quiz question. Tell them if the answer is right.

Q. 2 .Differentiate between input, process and output with example.

Ans: A program plan sets out the input, processes and output of a program.

Here is a plan for the quiz program:

Input: Ask a quiz question and get the answer.

Process: Check if the answer is right.

Output: Tell the user if the answer is right.

Topic: 3.2 Using Variables

Objective: Describe how to use a variable in a program

Q.1 Define what is a Variable?

Ans: Almost all programs use variables. When you make a variable,

you give it name. a program command gives the variable a value.

The variable will store the value

Q.2 Describe how to make a variable in scratch?

Ans: Click on the dark orange dot labeled “” Variable You will see the blocks that

help you make variables. There is one variable ready for you. It is called My variable.
You will make a different variables. Click on the box that says “ Make a Variable”

Type solution and click the Ok button. You have made a new block called Solution.

Click to remove the tick. Now the variable is ready to use.

Topic:3.4 Using a Logical test.
Objective: How to plan a program that uses a logical test

Q.1 Define What are relational operators?

Ans: Computer programs use operators to process values. Relational operators compare two
values.Three common relational operators are.

Q.2 Explain Logical test or which operators used to get answer in a form of true or false?

Ans. Computer programs often include a logical test. A logical test is a test that has the answer True or
False. You can make a logical test by comparing two values using relational operators. For example, 5>
3 says 5 is bigger than 3.This is true

Q.3 Explain Conditional structure?

Ans: A logical test is used to control what the computer does.

If the test is True, the computer does one thing.

If the test is false, the computer does a different thing.

This is called an if structure or a conditional structure.

Q.4 Explain Flow chart and draw a flowchart of a program that used logical operators.

Ans: Programmers sometimes draw a diagram to show a program plan. This sort of diagram is called a
flowchart. Opposite is a flowchart that matches the plan.

Homework:
Design scratch program using above given flowchart.
Topic: 3.5 creating a logical test
