Teaching Point:


Today we will learn how to use the Wait block to make Animations.

Animation in Scratch


As we saw in our last assignment, we can use Costumes to animate our characters. Each costume is a step in the animation - like a Frame in Frames. We also know that sometimes two blocks of code happen so quickly that it looks like nothing happened. We can solve this problem by putting wait blocks in between each costume change. The Wait block lets you choose how long to wait.

Today's Assignment


Create 3 or more new costumes in your Coin Sprite to show the coin disappearing or exploding. Then use a Wait/Next Costume block to make the coin disappear when touched by the Cat Sprite.

Extension Activity


Add sound to the coin animation.
