Simple debugging quiz for ScratchJr beginners

📚 Quick Study Guide

🔍 Debugging means finding and fixing errors (bugs) in your code.
• 💡 ScratchJr is a visual programming language, so debugging often involves looking at the order of blocks and their values.
• 📝 Common ScratchJr bugs include incorrect block order, wrong numbers in blocks, and missing blocks.
• 🧱 Test your code often! Small changes can cause big problems, so check frequently.
• 🎨 Look closely at what you expect to happen versus what actually happens on the screen. This helps pinpoint the problem.
• 💬 Ask for help! Sometimes another person can spot a mistake you missed.
