Scratch Tutorials vs Solar Walk 2 for Education Usage & Stats

This app was developed independently of the MIT Scratch Team, which produces the Scratch programming language and online community. The Scratch name and Scratch cat are trademarks of MIT. "Scratch Tutorials" brings you a whole bunch of video tutorials to get you going making your own games using Scratch 3.0. This are not the sort of standard tutorials that you find on the web. During the videos you will be set tasks to do in scratch and hopefully you will be able to complete them on your own. However, don't worry the next video in each project will show you how to complete the task!! So, what will you learn to build in Scratch? Well, there are 4 games to be covered here. A simple “whack-a-mole” game, stepping up to some more complicated builds in a “fish and shark game” and the n a build of the classic retro game “Breakout”. Also, we have included a fun webcam based game to show you even more possibilities. Scratch really is a fantastic way into learning programming and coding and this app hopefully will be a great asset to get you going with it. This is a big app of over 500Mb, because there is so much material in it. You will need to be hooked into your WiFi connection!! *TEACHERS* the point of this app is that your students can use a tablet alongside the PC to build their games in Scratch. You can just sit back and relax without having to plan anything. There is enough material to keep your students busy for many hours, even if they don't manage to have a go at the extension tasks that are identified for all 4 games!!

AN ABUNDANCE OF ASTRONOMY INFORMATION NO ADS NO IN-APP PURCHASES NO INTERNET CONNECTION NEEDED See what is said about our app used in classes: "My students felt like they experienced the solar system as they had read in Lucy and Stephen Hawking's book "George's Secret Key to the Universe". In that book a powerful computer can open a portal to show young George the planets. That is precisely what my classroom of children will pretend if we can manipulate Solar Walk on our large interactive screen!" — Greg Kroening, Burroughs Community School "I used this app recently when teaching Year 9 BTEC students about the composition of the Solar System. Students were engaged from the start as I had chosen to project the animation of the solar system. I was pleased and amazed by the engagement of the students throughout the lessons as this app made the lesson more accessible to all students." — Smartlearning Teacher of Science at Priority Community School Weston Super Mare. "Solar Walk gives your students a realistic look at the Solar System. Let your students take a virtual field trip to the planet of their choice to explore and report back to the class about. Students can become astronauts flying to the planet of choice, getting an in-depth look at the planet, and exploring each of the planets moons." — iPad Curriculum. ****************************** Main Features: - 3D model of our solar system with all its objects in real-time and correct positions - plenty of information about planets, moons, stars, comets, asteroids, satellites and other celestial bodies - deep space objects - the time machine to track the motion of celestial bodies in time and observe celestial events of different periods - interesting astronomy facts - astronomical calendar with various celestial events - extended information about space exploration and space missions - detailed 3D models of spacecraft - stunning visuals and graphics Possible Classroom Uses: - Use the app as a whole class teaching tool when learning about space and the solar system. - Let children use the app as a reference tool.
