Pictures in Motion: Make a Stop Motion
Phew - the quality on the overhead cam in the first version of this video didn't exactly inspire brilliance. Now with a new overhead camera, this video is a little easier to follow along to learn how to draw your own circle geometry.
oin Gary as he introduces the Brilliant Labs Minecraft server and challenges participants to consider how coral reefs are in danger all over the world due to climate change. One way humans have been helping is by building new structures for coral to grow. In this video Gary walks participants through how to access the Brilliant Labs Minecraft server while considering how to build your own coral reef!

Light is important to our lives, but too much light can have negative results. This is called: Light Pollution, which is the brightening of the night sky caused by street lights and other man-made sources. Light pollution can be disruptive and have a negative effect on natural cycles, habitats and sky-gazers. In this video Christine takes a look at the effect light pollution has on the Atlantic Puffin. She explains how baby puffins leave their nest to float in the Atlantic Ocean for up to 3 years. Their journey starts at night to avoid predators. Unfortunately, light pollution from coastal communities is distracting and takes them off course. To help solve this problem, and many like it, Christine shows viewers how to download and install the Science Journal App from the Apple App Store or Google Play. Once downloaded viewers will learn how to use this app to design, create and conduct their own light level experiment in their own community. Think about: why we are investigating light levels, consider your own use of light and any intended and unintended consequences of light use. Download & Learn: below are two links to help you download the Google Science Journal app and get started with your experiment. https://www.sciencebuddies.org/blog/g... https://www.sciencebuddies.org/blog/g...
Storytelling begins with a character. Learn how to make fun Egg Carton Characters to create your own story. It could be a puppet show or slow motion animation. This is a great exercise for: language arts, fine motor skills, creativity, speaking and listening, art, materials handling
Le récit commence par un personnage. Apprenez à vous amuser avec des personnages en carton pour créer votre propre histoire. Il peut s’agir d’un spectacle de marionnettes ou d’une animation image par image. C’est un excellent exercice pour : les arts du langage, la motricité fine, la créativité, la parole et l’écoute, l’art et la manipulation de matériaux.

For today’s Digital Skill, we’ll be using Scratch to create an interactive Earth Day Public Service Announcement (PSA) to share a message about climate action or protecting the oceans. PSAs are videos created to raise awareness and change public attitudes and behaviour toward a social issue.
Today our theme concentrates on goal 14 of the UN SDGs: Life Below Water
https://www.undp.org/content/undp/en/... Healthy oceans and seas are essential to our existence.They cover 70 percent of our planet and we rely on them for food, energy and water. Yet, we have managed to do tremendous damage to these precious resources. We must protect them by eliminating pollution and overfishing and immediately start to responsibly manage and protect all marine life around the world. Goal 14 has several targets to create action to conserve and sustainably use the oceans.

Welcome to an exploration of algorithmic art. In this Digital Skill, students will use Scratch to create an abstract piece of art that is created by code. We call this algorithmic art since your art piece will be created by an algorithm - or a set of rules. For instance can you create a Circle Packing algorithm in Scratch such that a series of circles randomly appear but never touch or overlap?
Students will want to check out our Circle Packing sample here - feel free to remix it and make it your own.

Today is the perfect day to get outside and capture a moment in time! Join eight-year-old Hunter, from Nova Scotia, as he shares how you can make your very own time capsule. All you need is a waterproof container (Glass jars don’t work well outside.If you’re hiding it in your home, any container will do!) things that you love and will remind you of these moments in time. For example: write a letter, store receipts, photographs, articles, or anything else you think will help future generations understand what life was like for a kid in 2020. After you finish your time capsule project why not create a Scratch game to mark your steps and create a map to find your capsule in the future!
In this video we be creating a new room and additional questions for the Eco Footprint Scratch game, started in Part 1 of this video series. This video concerns ecological footprint questions in the kitchen. By the end of the video you will have completed additional if statements and decision trees for the kitchen portion of the game. This is part 4 of a 5 part video series.

Today we will create a skyline animation using the parallax effect. It is this effect that gives many of your favourite video games and animations their feeling of movement. Our character will look like they are moving through the animation, but we will really be moving background layers at different speeds to create a realistic movement effect.
Become a global Citizen Scientist! Make your own local environmental observations, in particular cloud cover, that can compliment NASA satellite observations. Why are clouds important? How can we help monitor cloud conditions? In this digital skill, we will use the Globe Observer App to help answer these questions and become a Citizen Scientist.
