Clean Cars
Clean Cars
I made this project to present a skit about electric cars and about their fuel in my science project. i used the change x to make the car move and i used the say and ask button to make the car talk also to ask questions for people to answer that go. i used the hide code to hide car when the slkit is finished
Wind Turbine
Wind Turbine
Hello im Anvar, and i did this scratch for my science project about wind turbines. So as you can see there is a bat flying around and if u click the green flag, it will go and hit the wind turbine. Also you can see a pink T-shirt flying across the wind turbine, only because of how much wind the wind turbine is creating.

-Was it successful?
Extremely!(Mr.Downes)
- Did it enhance you classroom environment?
Without a doubt, the students were extremely excited.(Mr.Downes)
- Summary of everything they did?
The kids used scratch programs to convince Europeans to come to their colonial regions, we used time in the lab and the laptops to create dynamic presentations. The students did an unbelievable job, they showed a different platform, instead of just using PowerPoint. It seemed like the characters they created came to life, it was amazing.(Mr.Downes)
- Would you use scratch in the classroom?
Absolutely! I loved this project, Scratch allowed each student to create their own character and they felt liked they owned it. it was extremely hands on and it is a new creative outlet for students to express their thoughts.(Mr.Downes)

Learning how to incorporate coding in my science classroom has been one of the highlights of my year and has lead me to grow professionally by expanding my own techniques for fusing STEM into the curriculum. At first, I was a little intimidated because I wasn’t very familiar with programs like scratch. But after only a few meetings, I got the hang of it and felt comfortable facilitating lessons that incorporated coding and programming.
My students loved programming their Lego Robotics to simulate electric-powered cars and how they compare to standard gas automobiles. They also used scratch to create multimedia presentations. They also showed increased engagement while creating their own websites on the pros and cons of renewable energy sources, and enhanced their learning about wind turbines by coding a scratch project showing how the turbines work . The students even taught me a thing or two about Scratch in the process. The students’ projects were so impressive that we even displayed them at our very own Energy Expo here at Ditmas. I definitely plan to continue growing my knowledge base of scratch and coding so that I can learn to infuse it more often in my lessons and assignments next year.
