What is a Sequence?

Theory Book: Pages 9-11 | Game: gm_y3_concept_01 | ⭐ 100 XP

💡 CONCEPT

💡 Key Concept

Sequence: A set of instructions in a specific order. The ORDER matters — changing it changes the result!

🚀

Nova says:

"A sequence is like a recipe — every step must happen in the right order! If you put your shoes on before your socks, something goes wrong! 😄"

✏️ Activity 2.1 — Order the Steps

Put these steps for making tea in the right order. Write 1-5 in the boxes:

Order	Action

`score = 0`
`score = score + 10`
`score = score + 5`
`score = score - 3`
`score = score * 2`

Final value of score: ___________

✏️ Activity 5.2 — Story Variables

A character starts with 10 lives. Track the lives:

Event	Change	Lives
Start	—	10

💡 Key Concept

print(): Shows the value of a variable on screen.

score = 0 score = score + 100 print("Score:", score) # Shows: Score: 100

✏️ Activity 6.1 — Add the Print

Add print() statements to show the result:

name = "Explorer" # Add print here:

score = 50 score = score + 25 # Add print here:

🗺️ EXPLORE

💡 Key Concept

Loop: A block of code that repeats. Write once, run many times!

✏️ Activity 9.1 — Spot the Repetition

How many times does each action repeat?

Sequence	Repeated action	How many times?
Walk forward × 4, then turn left	Walk forward
Print "Hello" × 10	Print "Hello"

✏️ Activity 9.2 — Loop or No Loop?

Task	Loop needed? (Yes/No)
Print "Hello" once
Print "Hello" 100 times
Count from 1 to 1000
Add 2 numbers together
Make sandwiches for 30 students

Types of Loops

Theory Book: Pages 39-40 | Game: gm_y3_coding_02 | ⭐ 150 XP

💻 CODING

💡 Key Concepts

# FOR loop — repeat exactly 5 times for i in range(5): print("Hello, Galaxy!") # WHILE loop — repeat while score < 10 score = 0 while score < 10: score = score + 1

✏️ Activity 10.1 — FOR Loop Practice

1. Print "I love coding!" 3 times:

for i in range( ): print( )

2. Print numbers 0 to 4:

for i in range( ): print( )

✏️ Activity 10.3 — Trace the Loop

for i in range(4): print("Star", i)

Loop run	Value of i	What prints
1st	0
2nd	1
3rd	2
4th	3

✏️ Activity 10.4 — FOR or WHILE?

Task	FOR or WHILE?	Why?
Print "Hello" exactly 7 times
Keep asking for password until correct
Count from 1 to 100
Keep playing until player runs out of lives

Loops Step 4: EXIT — Infinite Loop Rescue

Theory Book: Page 44 | Game: gm_y3_debug_02 | ⭐ 140 XP

🐛 DEBUG

💡 Key Concept

Infinite loop: A loop that NEVER stops — this is a bug! Every loop needs an exit condition.

🔍 Activity 12.1 — Infinite Loop Spotter

Circle the infinite loops. Explain why they never stop:

count = 0 while count < 10: print(count) # count never changes!

Infinite? ☐ Yes ☐ No Why?

while True: print("Hello")

Infinite? ☐ Yes ☐ No Why?

✏️ Activity 12.2 — Fix the Infinite Loop

count = 10 while count > 0: print(count) # Add the fix here:

🤖

Chip says:

"Every loop needs an exit condition. Check: will this condition EVER become false? If not — it's infinite!"
