Scratch Task – Week 1 Term 3 2021

Posted on July 21, 2021 by johnspurr201

Learning @ Home – STEM

Overview: Your objective is to s t r e t c h your Scratch/ block-coding skills

Your Task:

Set an overall goal for your Scratch learning. You should aim to make either;

Amination Script
Game Script
Interactive Poster / Story Script

You might already be able to make these types of scripts. So how can you stretch your skills and make them even more complex?

SHARE YOUR GOAL (A FEW SENTENCES ONLY) IN SEASAW – IN YOUR STEM/SCIENCE FOLDER

How will you make your first step toward your goal? It doesn’t matter if you are not going to complete a script in the next few sessions, you might need to start with a very simple tutorial. Have a browse through the tutorials and decide how you are going to make your next step.

SHARE YOUR NEXT STEP (WHICH TUTORIALS YOU WILL COMPLETE) IN SEASAW

Work on your tutorials and start your own script. When you get stuck, look for tutorials, Scratch Help, do an internet search or ask an adult. Be persistent! Save your script and share it on Seasaw.

SHARE YOUR SCRIPT AND WRITE A FEW SENTENCES ABOUT YOUR LEARNING IN SEASAW

FAQ:

Can I use the Scratch App? YES

Do I need to have an account / username & password? No, you can still save your work to your device.

Do I need to complete a full game/animation script? No. You need to make your way closer to this goal, by learning some new skills.

Task:
Alone or in pairs, you will plan and create a 2-3 minute tutorial explaining the Tinkercad actions listed below. The definitions for each term, should be taken from the glossary below.
You must also use all the terms listed in the glossary.Use iPad screen recorder to record your actions and you can edit in or record live voiceovers.
Glossary:
Manipulating Actions/Tools: Align, Duplicate, Export, Flip, Group, Rotate, Scale
Viewing Actions/Tools: Pan, Ruler, Zoom
Other Terms: CAD, Dimensions, Fabricate, Handle, Hole, Primitive, Workplane, X,Y,Z axes.
