Summary

This activity will use images from the story book “Trip to the Moon” written by Vera Evic, an author from Pangnirtung, Nunavut.

Students will animate the images and create a scene from the book where kids use an oil drum rocket to travel to the moon. Students will learn about apparent motion and animation using a low tech activity, and then dive into a Scratch lesson to learn how to manipulate sprites and backdrops to create a scene, and connect blocks to create scripts that animate those sprites.
