Nice advice! There are some Grammatical errors though.

In what? The advice?

I teach 8th grade physical science and I'm having students use Scratch to communicate what they learned about the motion of an object and how it looks on a graph. Sounds sort of boring. I agree so that is why I decided to use Scratch…this is their first try and I made a "template" from which they can copy Sprites that do the basics….and then challenge them to improve.

If you would be willing to give me feedback on how I can make this “better” for them to learn from, I'd really appreciate it.

And I hope this is the right spot to post this request for help. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if this would fit a certain style of request, but I will answer nonetheless:

Learning is quite individualized, but here are a few tips for how you could possibly visualize the concepts for your students. As I am unaware of your central theme, I cannot really provide specific advice but you can use your own discretion.

1.) SL Sprite- Currently the code there will sort of visualize linear motion, but I personally feel that is is not the most effective way to go about this. I would recommend splitting this up into two separate scripts. The first would your traditional sprite clicked event.

when this sprite clicked
repeat (10)
say [I move in a straight line] for (4) secs
end

The second would visualize the linear motion as it is being discussed:

when this sprite clicked
repeat (10)
glide (2) secs to x: (180) y: (0)
glide (2) secs to x: (-180) y: (0)
end

2.) Baseball Sprite- I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to simulate here? Parabolic Motion? I would recommend checking out this project about parabolic motion with cannonballs which includes “Instant Replays”- a handy feature for those who wish to review their work.

3.) Grid Drawer- I noticed that you left this comment on that script

“While you can't write this code YET, you can copy it over to your own program.”

If you were looking for Scratch Lessons for your students, then I would like to recommend those on my website. You may also be interested in this synthesis challenge for your students. The platformer tutorial is uses more advanced physics than most of the other tutorials.

Students can use the lessons as a guide and get the project setups by using “See Inside” or “Remixing” them with their own accounts. Hopefully you have found these recommendations helpful. If you have any questions then feel free to write a response.

when this sprite clicked       

is the same as

if <<> and <>> then

Where's the glue?

I'll get it! ;D

They haven't responded yet.

I believe that Paddle has been offline for 4 hrs. That's alright. Hopefully it'll be up by tomorrow morning . Anyway! It's time to discuss our next project!

Needs more glue….

turn cw () degrees
