Loudness Block
The loudness block uses the volume sensed by your microphone to allow you to interact with your Scratch project. The blocks do not collect or store personal information, like recordings of the sound in the space. It only measures the volume sensed by the microphone.

Sound and MusicExplore the Scratch sound library, which is full of a variety of sound effects, voices, and longer sound loops. Try the music extension blocks that let you use the sounds of a variety of instruments and actual notes with customizable beat lengths to create digital instruments, songs, and more! Using sound in a game, animation, story, or interactive project can add depth and emotion. From the Scratch sound library, recording your own sound, uploading a sound, or using music blocks, experiment with options to make your sound project interactive using inputs like keyboard keys, the mouse, video motion, or even the features of your face or the Makey Makey combined with items like bananas!

Learn MoreVariables and ListsHave you used Variable or List blocks in a Scratch project? They can be a powerful tool when you are creating customized programs. Perhaps you have used a variable to store a game score, but did you know a variable can hold numbers or text (also known as a “string”)? And if you are storing a lot of custom information, using a list may be more efficient than creating multiple variables. Let’s explore what variables and lists are, and see a number of ways they can be used.
Learn MoreConditional StatementsHave you ever wanted to create a Scratch program that is interactive or offers multiple outcomes? Some Scratch programs are static: the outcome is fixed and the same thing happens each time. Some are dynamic: they are capable of action or change each time they are run. In order to create dynamic programs, the programmer can use conditional statement blocks (in the Control blocks category) to give instructions on how the project should respond in different circumstances.
