Computational Thinking PO1/PO2
This coding activity using Scratch can be adapted to allow students to explain any process, in this case we are looking at the four main stages of the life cycle of a butterfly, but it could be adapted to any process. Your students will need to have some prior knowledge of scratch to complete this challenge. This challenge could just as easily be completed using Tynker.
If you need to see the completed code look at this example we have created on scratch: Monarch
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.
