Animate a Biome in Scratch

In this project we are going to create an INTERACTIVE biome using Scratch!

Biome Web Sites

Use this web page to find videos, pictures, and information for each of your biome sprites. The first link is probably the best, so start with it and use the rest as needed!

Here is what your project must include:

one

Your STAGE should be a picture that represents one of the six biomes.

two

Three animal sprites from your biome. You will find the picture on the internet and create these in Scratch.

three

Three plant sprites from your biome. You will find the picture on the internet and create these in Scratch.

four

Each sprite should talk or think when you click on it. It should tell the user about itself. If you want to record what it says, that is even better! Do not put more than one sentence on each think or say block.

five

The animal sprites should move on the screen. Use the Glide block to do this easily.

six

Directions for the user.

Site Upgrade Underway

So you like this new look? I have begun the work of updating this site to look cleaner, make it easier to read, and work much better on mobile devices. Do you like what you see? I'm open to suggestions; email me with ideas!

As I work on the site, you'll go back to the old style pages. Don't worry, all the links will continue to work just fine! You'll be able to follow my progress! Look for an updated Intro to Spreadsheets site soon!
