The students in Mr. Taylor’s 5th grade class learned about the different features of the ocean floor. To demonstrate their understanding of these vocabulary terms, the students used Scratch to code the ocean floor. They began by downloading a picture of the ocean floor from Britannica Image Quest and uploading it to Scratch as a backdrop. Then students selected a sprite, in this case the diver, to act as a tour guide. The students then used glide and say blocks to move to the different areas of the ocean floor and explain each feature.
