AnimatED | Lesson 1Get AnimatED!What is Digital Animation?

We will use SCRATCH® to make animations. Animating something means you are bringing it to life. Making a picture appear to be moving is animating it.

SCRATCH® is digital version of a flip book. If you have a series of pictures that change quickly, the picture appears to be moving and is animated!

In SCRATCH®, the picture you are moving is called a Sprite.

You make your sprite move using Scripts that tell the sprite what to do.

You write your scripts using Blocks found in the Block Palettes.

2)

3 Main Areas:

Now that your familiar with Scratch and digital animation, lets start animating!

•Stage- This is where your sprites are and where you can watch your animation.

•Script Area- This is where you write your script for the animation.

•Blocks Palette- This is where you can find all of the commands to write your scripts.

2)

Explore the Interface.

AnimatED | Lesson 1


3 Main Areas:

Now that your familiar with Scratch and digital animation, lets start animating!

1)

Task 1: Learn how to write and run a Script to move Sprites.

Click on the cat Sprite in the Stage and drag it to the left side of the Stage.

Click on Control in the Block Palette. This is where all of the Control Blocks are.

Click on the When Flag is Clicked block and drag it to the Script Area. This will tell your script to start when you click the flag.

RUN YOUR SCRIPT!• Did the cat Sprite move 100 steps to the right?

Click the Green Flag on the Stage• This will start all of the scripts that have a When Flag is Clicked block.

Click on the top of a script.• This will run the entire script you clicked

Click on any Block.• This will run ONLY run the command of the block you click on.

Now go in the Motion Palette and drag out Move 10 Steps. Click on the number 10 and type 100 to change it to 100 steps.

Your Scrip is finished! There are 3 ways to run (start) your script:

DO NOT delete your script!!

6)

2)

When you drag a block close to another they “snap” together.

AnimatED | Lesson 1

AnimatED | Lesson 1

Task 2: Learn about the Wait block and add additional movements.

We will be adding to the previous script.

Go to the Control Palette and pull out a Wait block.2)

RUN YOUR SCRIPT!• Did your cat Sprite move to the right and then to left?

RUN YOUR SCRIPT!• What happened? Did the Sprite move? Why not?

4)

7)

6)

Begin your script:•When Flag is Clicked- Found in the control block.

•Move 100 Steps- This moves the sprite 100 steps to the right.

•Wait One Second- Found in the control block.

•Move -100 steps- This moves your cat -100 steps, to the left.

•Wait One Second- Found in the control block.

5) Why do we need the Wait blocks? Lets delete them and see what happens!

Delete them by clicking on the Scissor Tool in the tool bar, then click on the Wait blocks. You can also take apart your script and drag the Wait blocks out.

The Wait block puts a pause in between commands. It can slow down, or speed up your script!



We will be adding to the previous script.

Go to the Control Palette and pull out a Wait block.

Begin your script:

1)

Click on the Sound Palette and drag out Play Sound and select “meow” from the drop down list. Put the block anywhere inside of the loop.

Move the Play Sound block out of the Repeat Loop.

RUN YOUR SCRIPT!• Did the cat move back and forth 10 times?

RUN YOUR SCRIPT!• Did a “meow” sound play?• Did the sound repeat ten times, every time the script looped? Why?

RUN YOUR SCRIPT!• Did a “meow” sound play?• Did it play once? Or did it play ten times? Why?

7)

6)

8)

2) Go in the Control Palette and drag out Repeat 10x. This is a Loop that goes around blocks.

All Loops will stretch around Scripts and blocks when they are dragged close together. Wrap the loop around your entire script.

Replace your Wait blocks so that the Sprite can move. We will be adding to the previous script.

Whatever is inside of this loop will repeat 10 times. You can Change the number of repeats.

This will play a “meow” sound wherever it is placed in the script.

Task 3: Make it interesting by adding a Loop, and Sound!

AnimatED | Lesson 1

Outside of loop.Inside of loop.



Task 4: Use Point in Direction to move your Sprite!

To make the cat move right you commanded it to Move 100 steps. To make it Move left you commanded it to Move -100 steps. Another way to change direction is by using the Point in Direction block.

By using the pull down arrow you can select which direction you want to point your Sprite. You can also type in your own direction, such as 45°.

Your Sprite will move in which ever direction you have first pointed it in. The example below points it left, then moves it 100 steps in that direction.

Use the Point in Direction and Move block to move your sprite the following way:

1)

2)

AnimatED | Lesson 1

Points, or faces, the sprite in the chosen direction.

90° - Right

0° - Up

180° - Down

-90° - Left

* You will use the Move block, Point in Direction block, and Wait block 4 times!


Use the Point in Direction and Move block to move your sprite the following way:

*The Turn block is found in the Motion Palette.

A full circle is 360 degrees, and it is turning 15 degrees each time it re-

Experiment with the Turn block.

Turn in a bigger Circle!

Experiment with the values in the Move blocks and Turn block to see how they effect each other.

How Many times does the script need to repeat for the cat to turn in a full circle?

Can you make it complete a circle in less turns? Can you make it move faster? Can you Adjust the size of your circle. What About the direction?

Rotates the Sprite.

Insert Move blocks to your script.

What has changed about the the motion of the Cat? What did adding Move blocks do?

AnimatED | Lesson 3Lets Play Basketball!Task 1: Make the ball bounce using the If On Edge, Bounce block.

Delete the cat sprite.

Begin your script:

RUN YOUR SCRIPT!• Is your ball moving left to right and bouncing of the edge?• We want our basketball to bounce up and down. Lets change the direction of motion using the

Current Sprite Info Display.

RUN YOUR SCRIPT!Is your ball moving up and down and bouncing of the edge?Lets make is bounce at an angle.

RUN YOUR SCRIPT!• Is your ball bouncing at angle instead of up and down?• What block could we use to point the ball in a direction, instead of moving the blue line in the

Current Sprite Info Display?

Change the direction of motion using the blue line on the Current Sprite Info Display to 0 (up).

Change the direction of motion. Use the blue line on the Current Sprite Info Display to 45 degrees.

• Move 10 steps- Found in the motion palette. This will move your Ball.

• If on edge, bounce- Found in the motion palette. When the ball touches the edge of the stage it will bounce off in the opposite direction.

RUN YOUR SCRIPT!• Is your ball spinning in a circle?• Is the circle large enough to hit the edge of the stage and make the ball bounce?• How can you make the circle larger so it hits the edges?

RUN YOUR SCRIPT!• Is your ball moving with an arc and bouncing off of the edges?• Decreasing the number of degrees made the circle bigger. How can we make the circle faster?

RUN YOUR SCRIPT!• Is your ball bouncing quickly, with an arc, and of the edge? • In Real life, balls appear to get larger as they are bouncing toward you and smaller as they go

away. Lets learn a new block to add this affect to our animation.

Change the number in the of Move Steps block. Does a low or high number make it move faster? Try 20 Steps.

Adjust the degree of the turn to affect the size of the circle. We want a big circle. Should the number be higher or lower?



• Turn 15 degrees- Found in the motion palette. This will turn the ball 15 degrees every

time it is moved.

Task 3: Get familiar with the Stage and Backgrounds!

The Stage is the white rectangle where all the sprites are placed, just like a stage at a play with actors on it. The stage is controlled separately. To control the Stage click on the Stage icon.

Notice that your Sprite’s script is gone. That is because the Stage can have its own Scripts, Backgrounds, and Sounds. Try clicking on the Sprite. Now you can see that it’s script is there.

The easiest and most common thing to do for the Stage is to create a Background for it. Similar to how a Sprite can have Costumes, the Stage can have Backgrounds. It is like changing the set on the stage of a play. With the Stage selected click on the Background Tab.

Import a Background. Click on the Background tab, then click Import and select a Background.

Move your basketball sprite to the center of the stage.

Begin your script (you can have multiple scripts, so you may want to keep your previous one):

RUN YOUR SCRIPT!• Does the ball return to original size when you type the space bar?• Can you add this to your original script?

RUN YOUR SCRIPT!• Is your ball increasing in size every time the script loops and the ball bounces of the edge?• Lets learn a new command to bring your ball back to it’s original size.

Adjust the direction of motion using the Current Sprite Info Display to the direction you want.


• Turn 3 degrees- Found in the motion palette. This will turn the ball 3 degrees every

time it is moved.


• Change size by 1- Found in the looks palette. This will change the size of your

sprites by 1 every time it repeats.

• Loop 125 Times- Found in the control palette. This makes the script repeat 125 times.

1)

2)

Create a second script:• When Space Key Pressed- Found in the control palette. This is similar to the

green flag, but now when you type the space bar your script will run.

• Set size to 100%- Found in the looks palette. This commands the sprite to return

to its original size (100%) at the beginning of the script.

5)

Task 4: Make your ball appear to be bouncing toward you by using the Change Size By block. Return it to it original size with the Set Size To block.

Changes sprite’s size by a specific amount.

Sets Sprite’s size to specified % of it’s original size.

Glide!In Scratch, we can divide the presentation into several points along an X and Y axis. The center is where both X and Y values are the number 0.

X values will range from 0 to 240 as the Sprite moves to the right and from 0 to -240 as the Sprite moves to the left.

Y values range from 0 to 180 as the Sprite moves up and from 0 to -180 as the Sprite moves down. Take a look at the image below.
