Computational Thinking PO2
This coding activity using Scratch Tynker is designed to be integrated into a numeracy lesson. This task requires students to build a working analogue clock. To be successful the students will need to demonstrate their understanding of the relationship between hours, minutes and seconds, plus degrees. This task is a great multi-disciplinary task. We have found when we run this lesson that the formative assessment opportunites are very rich.

If you have not used Scratch before then the following video tutorial may help you to become a little more confident with its learning potential. Scratch Tutorial
If you want to use Tynker to do this project and you are not a confident user of Tynker then these tutorials may be of use to you. The lessons illustrated here also apply to the blocks in Scratch and as such will work on Scratch too.
