Handouts On Unit 5 and Powerpoint Animation
Grade 4
Q1: Define what an algorithm is and give an example.
Answer: An algorithm is a step-by-step process or set of instructions to
solve a problem.
Example: Instructions for tying shoelaces:
o Take one lace in each hand.
o Cross the laces.
o Pull one lace under the other.
o Create loops and tie them together.
Q2: Why is debugging an important part of programming?
Answer: Debugging is important because it helps identify and correct
errors in a program, ensuring the program runs smoothly and produces
the desired output.
Q3. List and explain the different Start options in animation timing, and how they
impact the flow of a presentation.
Answer:
• On Click: The animation starts when the presenter clicks the mouse, giving
control over timing.
• With Previous: The animation starts simultaneously with another animation,
creating smooth sequences.
• After Previous: The animation begins immediately after the previous one
finishes, automating the flow.
Q4. Describe the steps to apply animation motion paths to an object and
customize its path.
Answer:
• Select the object you want to animate.
• Go to the Animations tab on the Ribbon.
• Click on "Add Animation" and choose "Motion Path."
• Use "Effect Options" to select or customize the path.
• Open the Animation Pane to adjust the timing and sequence of the motion path.
Q5. Explain the difference between animations and transitions in PowerPoint.
Provide examples for both.
Answer: Animations are visual effects applied to objects like text or images within a
slide, for example, Fly In or Fade. Transitions are effects applied between slides, such as
Morph or Push. While animations focus on object-level effects, transitions help in
switching between slides smoothly.
