Scratch Challenge (1):

The challenge is to make 2 different balls move around on the stage. You have to make the first ball move in straight lines but bounce randomly whenever it hits the edge. You have to make the second ball move randomly and make it change its direction all the time.


(1) Click on the folder: 'Choose new sprite from file'. Click on: 'Things' and choose two different balls. Now click on: 'Shrink sprite' and keep clicking on the first ball until you shrink it to a reasonable size. Repeat this for the other ball.

(2) To make the first ball move, click on: "Control" and place 'when clicked' into the first ball's script. Now place 'forever' in the script underneath 'when clicked'.


(3) Click on: "Motion" and place 'move (10) steps' in the script underneath 'forever'.


(4) Click on: "Control" and place 'if' underneath the script from step (3).

(5) Click on: "Sensing" and place 'touching (edge)' next to 'if'.

(6) Click on: "Motion" and place either 'turn anti-clockwise (15) degrees' or 'turn clockwise (15) degrees' underneath the script from step (5).

(7) Click on: "Numbers" and place 'pick random (1) to (10)' next to 'turn (15) degrees'. You can change it to (1) to (90) degrees. Now when you double click on: 'when clicked' your first ball should move in straight lines but bounce randomly whenever it hits the edge.

(8) To make the second ball move, click on: "Control" and place 'when clicked' in the second ball's script. Now place 'forever' in the script underneath 'when clicked'.

(9) Click on: "Motion" and place 'move (10) steps' underneath the script from step (8). Now place either 'turn clockwise or anticlockwise (15) degrees underneath 'move (10) steps'. Now place ' if on edge, bounce' underneath this.
(10) Click on: "Numbers" and place 'pick random (1) to (10)' next to 'move (10) steps' from step (9). Now place another 'pick random (1) to (10) next to 'turn (15) degrees'. You can change it to (1) to (90) degrees. Now when you double click on: 'when clicked' your second ball will move randomly and change its direction all the time.

Research on recommendations for dentistry:

Education and Training:

To become a dentist you have to study dentistry at university. To get into the course below you usually need to pass your SACE. Prerequisite subjects, or assumed knowledge, in one or more of mathematics, higher level mathematics, biology, geology, chemistry, Stage 2 Chemistry and physics are normally required. Entry to the degree is highly competitive and requires passing the Undergraduate Medicine and Health Sciences Admission Test (UMAT) and a tertiary entrance rank (TER) of 90 or above. Alternative entry may be available. Contact the university for more information as requirements may change.

Scratch tips:

• Have a look and play around in Scratch to get use to it
• Get someone who has experience in using Scratch to teach you the basics and then give you scratch challenges
• Design your own scratch challenges to complete
• Write down all of your steps so you can look back on them if you have trouble remembering them.

How to make a race in Scratch:

1) Click on the tab: Costumes. Then click on the tab: Import. Choose a racing sprite and then click OK. Go back into the Costumes tab and pick the same animal but with a different movement. Now click on the tab: Choose New Sprite From File. Choose a different racing sprite and click OK. Go back into the Costumes tab. Click on the tab: Import. Pick the same animal but with a different movement.



2) Reduce sprite size by first finding: Set Size. Place this in the script and write 40% in the space.

3) Reapeat step 2 for the other sprite.

4) You can now get it moving and change its costume by
finding these tabs and placing them in this order:

5) Repeat step 4 for the other sprite.

6) Make the sprite bounce off the edge by first finding: motion> if one edge, bounce. Place this in the script under the whole movement script in step 4. Adjust the sprites' rotation style for back and forward motion so they aren't upside down. Repeat all this for the other sprite.

7) Find: Randomise motion Numbers> pick 1 to 10. Place this in the script next to 'move' from step 4. Place another one in the script next to the second 'move' from step 4. Repeat all this for the other sprite.

8) Draw a finish line by first finding: when clicked. Place this on script. Click on the tab: Choose New Sprite From File. Pick a sprite that is different from your other two sprites and click OK. Place the sprite in a corner on the left-hand side of the page. Find: Pen down. Place this in the script. Find: Set pen size. Place this in the script. Set it to 20 or to your likeness. Find: Move. Place this in the script. Write a number for the amount of steps the sprite will move. Find: Point in direction. Place this in the script and make the direction up.

9) Now you have to make the race finish when one sprite crosses the finish line by first finding: if else. Place this on the script underneath 'forever' from step 4. Find: touching (colour cube). Place this in the script next to 'if'. Find: Say for 2 secs. Place this in the script under 'if'. Write "I Win!" in the space. Click on your finish line and then click on the colour cube. Find: Stop all. Place this in the script under 'say "I Win" for 2 secs'. Place the whole movement script from step 4 underneath "else". Repeat all this for the other sprite.
