Display a flower each time that the user clicks on the background. There are at least three different ways of programming this in Scratch including drawing your own flower with the Pen extension. How will you do this?
Play a musical instrument with Scratch using the Music Extension. For example, you could play piano notes 1 to 120 at 240 bpm, with 0.5 beats per note. What triggers the playing? What happens while the notes are playing?

Create a project that involves one or more sprites jumping or flying. For example, you could animate a bird flying through the clouds or a video-game character jumping across lava. How realistic looking can you make this?
