Mrs. Baum’s 4th grade science students have been learning about the phases of the moon. We began by looking at a document that showed the phases of the moon for January 2018. Students referred back to this page while they coded their projects.
To demonstrate their understanding, students created an animation in Scratch to label the moon phases. They started by finding a picture of the moon phases in Britannica Image Quest. They upload that image as a background in Scratch. Next students selected a sprite and programmed their character to glide to each phase of the moon and use the say block to identify each moon phase.
Take a look at this finished work sample!
