Computer Science- The art of blending human ideas and digital tools to

increase problem solving power

Computer Scientist- A person who is skilled at modifying problems for digital

solutions.
Data- Information including facts, samples, names and numbers.
Environment- The world we live in
Interface- the insides of a computer or parts
Open Source- Software available for free for anyone to use
Programming- Writing instructions for a digital tool.
Simulation- Pretending to be the real thing.
Encode- to put something into a coded form.
Decode- to take something out of code.
Computational Thinking- A method of problem solving that helps a computer
scientist prepare problems for digital solutions.
1. Decompose-figure out the problem
2. Patterns- common characteristics, similarities
3. Abstraction- minimalize the words needed to describe what

needs to be completed.
4. Algorithms- creating a list of directions to get the objective done.
Abstraction- removing details from a solution so that it can work for many

problems.
Algorithm- A list of steps that allow you to complete a task.
Decompose- To break a hard problem up into smaller, easier ones.
Pattern- A theme that is repeated many times.
Program- Instructions that can be understood and followed by a machine.
Coding- Transforming actions into a symbolic language.
Debugging- Finding and fixing problems in code
Function- A piece of code that can be called over and over
Parameters- Extra bits of information that you can pass into a function to

customize it.
Function Call- The place in your program where you call a function you have

defined
Function definition- The place where you assign a series of actions to one

easy-to-remember name.
Variable- A place holder for a value that can change.

Conditional- a statement that is either true or false depending of the

situation.
If statement- A line that determines whether or not you run a chunk of code.
Else- Another way of saying otherwise.
Increment- To add a certain amount once or many times.

addresses.
URL (Universal Resource Locator)-An easy-to-remember address for calling a

web page
Internet- A group of computers and servers that are networked together.
Network- A group of things that are connected to each other.
Packets- Small chunks if information that have been carefully formed from

larger chunks of information.

Routing- finding the best path through a network.
Servers- Computers that exist only to provide i0nformation to others.

Codes
moveForward(); moves the bird forward
turnRight(); makes the bird turn
turnLeft(); makes the bird turn

for (var count = 0; count < 5; count++) {

moveForward();
}
Makes the code repeat x amount of times doing whatever you put into the

code
Gray blocks cant be removed

while (notFinished()) {

moveForward();

This means that it wont stop doing what it is doing until it reaches the end
or the goal

if (isPathLeft()) {

this makes it so if it can turn left then it will turn left but if not it wont turn

while (notFinished()) {

if (isPathForward()) {

moveForward();

} else {

turnLeft();

This means that go forward unless you cant then it will turn left

moveForward(100); this means that it will go 100 pixels forward

turnRight(90); this means it will turn 90 degrees

penColour(colour_random()); this means that a random color will be chosen

dig(); THIS REMOVES WHAT IS ON THAT SPACE

// draw_a_square

for (var count = 0; count < 4; count++) {

moveForward((50));
turnRight(90);
This makes you make a square in a shorter space

var counter;

for (counter = 50; counter <= 90; counter += 10) {

// draw_a_square
for (var count = 0; count < 4; count++) {
moveForward((counter));
turnRight(90);
}
}

This makes you use the counter block that makes it easiesr to repeat

// draw_a_snowman

This draws a snowman

jumpForward(100);

This makes you go forward without drawing

function fill_5() {
for (var count = 0; count < 5; count++) {
fill();
}
}

moveForward();
fill_5();

This is a function block that makes you do a special activity.

var length2;

function draw_a_square(length2) {
for (var count = 0; count < 4; count++) {
moveForward(length2);
turnRight(90);

}
}

function draw_a_triangle(length2) {
for (var count2 = 0; count2 < 3; count2++) {
moveForward(length2);
turnRight(120);
}
}

This is a parameter, that make it so you can make different sized triangles

if (nectarRemaining() > 0) {
getNectar();
}

This makes it so that if there is more than 0 nectar it wwll remove until it is
less than 0.
