Challenge #5

In this challenge, you will need to watch the movement and actions of the sprites on the stage and then recreated the scene on your Ipad. None of the code is provided! After you have tried to replicate the scene, you can click on the link below to review the code used to create it.

Scan the QR Code below to get a copy of the code used to create the scene in Scratch Jr. Challenge #5

Challenge #6

In this challenge, you will use Scratch Jr. to show your understanding of how gravity works. Your sprite will jump in three different environments (in water, on land and on the moon). Use the changing speed block to show (using code) how jumping would look different in each environment.
