They are planning to add a circus background, and add more animation to create the "LEGO Go Circus." They built the parts using LEGO bricks. Then we used the camera on my computer to take the pictures. http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/natalie/276857_sm.png 4 NatalieDucks http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/natalie/61449 This project was inspired by my one of my favorite picture books, The Story of Ping -- about the youngest duck (who was always last in line). INSTRUCTIONS Click on the Green Flag to start. If your computer has sound, turn it up. HOW I MADE THIS To get the ducks to face the way I wanted, I chose the "don't rotate" rotation style button. MORE IDEAS Make a project using the letters of your name. For inspiration, think about your favorite books, animals, sports, or hobbies. http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/natalie/61449_sm.png crazy butterflies http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/natalie/27368 Press the Space Bar to move. My niece who is 3 years old described to me what she wanted, and I programmed it. I said her "Hi" had lots of I's, that's how she got idea for the butterfly having lots of "eyes." (If your sound is on you can hear my niece's voice.) http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/natalie/27368_sm.png drawing over a stamped sprite http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/natalie/23339 This was inspired DaffyDuck's posting in the forum asking about erasing a sprite with a pen. (This isn't actually erasing the sprite, just a "stamp" of the sprite.) http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/natalie/23339_sm.png montreal bagels part1 http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/natalie/21062 Click to start! This is the beginning of a project telling what I've learned about the history of bagels from Montreal, Canada. http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/natalie/21062_sm.png dragon starter http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/natalie/20568 A virtual pet starter project. Click any button. HOW IT WORKS Each time you click "think" button the program chooses a random number between 1 and 3. That "random thought" number determines which phrase the dragon will choose. http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/natalie/20568_sm.png Electric Company inspired Scratch http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/natalie/20294 Turn on speakers for this one (if you want to hear it). I used to watch the PBS show Electric Company as a kid. What I remember most was the mouths pronouncing two syllables of words. I just made this quick rendition (using my Mac's built in video camera). Here's a video from the original show on Youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=M98-5g3TYTI Improvements to make Full silhouettes Two different people (like in the original) Music http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/natalie/20294_sm.png A Million Stars http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/natalie/18769 This is an adaptation of a project by Mr Shah called "Random Dots." I added a variable to keep count, so you can see how many stars have been painted so far. It should stop when the counter equals 1,000,000 (one million). http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/natalie/18769_sm.png change scenes starter http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/natalie/18335 This project just shows a simple way to hide a sprite when you change scenes. INSTRUCTIONS: Click green flag to start. BEHIND THE SCENES: If you download the code, you'll see the dog sprite just has two scripts: when green flag clicked show when I receive scene2 hide The Stage uses a "broadcast" block to send the message when it's time to change scenes. http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/natalie/18335_sm.png Magic Carpet Natalie Start http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/natalie/2681 This is the start of a magic carpet project. Each time you click the magic carpet, it goes to a random place. Where would you want to go on a magic carpet? INSTRUCTIONS: Click the green flag to restart. http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/natalie/2681_sm.png heading to NL http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/natalie/1215 I read Mick's challenge to make a project using 6 surprise sprites. It's late at night but I decided I should try to make something. http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/natalie/1215_sm.png Talking Photos http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/natalie/469 Press the keys: A, B, C, or D. Here's one way to make your own talking photos: 1) IMPORT a picture. 2) Click the SOUNDS tab and RECORD your voice. 3) Animate the mouth. (Click the COSTUMES tab, then click COPY. Next, EDIT the copied costume in the paint editor so the mouth looks open). 4) Use the script in this project to play sound and switch between costumes (or write your own script). http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/natalie/469_sm.png NatalieDucks http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/natalie/438 This project was inspired by my one of my favorite picture books, The Story of Ping -- about the youngest duck (who was always last in line).
