The whole thing is very simple. The things that is strange is that her put dwarf planets, but didn't bother to put moons! This solar system reminds me of a program that was recommended to me by my mom's friend (who happened to be an astrologist) called Celestia. You could explore the galaxy and they had every single star that was discovered. They had settings where you could see them in orbit, set it to a certain date and time, and even go to certain spacecraft in space!
I found this very bizarre. The game was fun but kind of confusing. I also really thought it interesting that one of the dwarf planets was shaped like a potato!
I didn't think that it taught about the solar system. All you could do was make the planets orbit faster. I did not learn anything from it.
Like Elijah said, the post was very bizarre. It didn't teach you anything. All it showed was planets spinning around the sun. You don't learn anything from looking at planets spinning faster and slower. At least I don't think so.
it was a very interesting project, and the cool thing is, i actually have seen this project on scratch before because i have an account on it. but it wasn't really that fun to do, and i think it could have been better if it told you a little info about the planet.
This scratch game was very repeating it self over and over again. But it was also kind of cool to see if rotate around and around and see which one is the fastest our the slowest altogether like Brandon F and Elijah said it was kind of bizarre but neat at the same time
I didn't really understand the point of this game. Is it just that you click on the planets and they show you a picture of them? It was really pointless. I didn't enjoy this game. "Lizzy" said that you could make the planets orbit- I didn't figure out how to use it! This didn't teach me anything (I didn't or anybody didn't know) about science. I hope there are better interactive games next week.
Great! I loved it, but it was kind of repetitive, like Michael H said. It was really interesting to an extent, but it was still enjoyable! The scratch project at some points was kind of confusing, but otherwise, it was pretty awesome. One of the downsides of this game though, was that it didn't really teach me anything except for size... Was it meant to be that way? Anyways, despite that, it was a wonderful game. :]
This did show rotation in the universe, but it was so simple. There was practically nothing to it. The Scratch video did not really explain anything, it just showed a bunch of colored dots going in circles. It is not clear what the main point is, or what it is trying to teach. It would have been better if an article was included to clarify the idea and give facts.
I thought that this was ok because It was cool to click on each planet and see what the names of even the smaller ones were. Overall it was ok.
That thing gets boring after awile. It's good for a scratch, but not for the blog. also, it hardly gave any information.
I didn't really learn anything from this. All that happened was that I saw how the planets are different in how fast or slow they rotate around the sun.
I thought the game was kind of boring. It was cool that we could look at the dwarf planets. I disagree with Liz because I thought it did teach you about the way the planets can orbit around the earth at different speeds.
The simulation is obviously not very advanced. I did not really like it because it gave no information about the planets. When you clicked on a planet, I think it should have given a picture and information about the planet.
I didn't agree with claire on that. (no offense) You did not really LEARN anything. Sure you could change the speed from 0-37, but the numbers had no significance whatsoever. I also read through the comments and the word "repeating" kept jumping out at me. Yes, it was very repeating. Aligning and scattering is not really what the solar system does. Even if it would, it happens naturally and some person just doing it doesn't make sense. It was kind of confusing. It said you could change the time, but that didn't even work! I'm sure the person who made this worked really hard, but he/she could have made it a little more informative.
ii thought it was intresting how the creator actually tried to time the planets orbit and how they move slower or faster
This was a very fun game, but I have to agree with Brandon the person put Pluto and all those other planets but they forgot the moons! that is the one thing that urked me.
Personally, I like scratch games where you just observe. But like Noah S. said it didn't really teach you anything I didn't know. Even though, it was still very addicting, and like Elijah said, I did see that one of the planets looked like a potato.
It was amusing for a minute but it didn't do anything except move around and give the name. I liked how you could see close-up pictures of the planets. I didn't really learn anything though... I saw that Haumea (the potato dwarf planet) was not a sphere too.
I did not learn much from this interactive game. All I did learn is how the planets orbit, which I pretty much already knew. Although it was good for a scratch program it did not teach.
I don't really like this because it doesn't explain whatever the person who made this wanted us to understand. I don't really get the game, it's confusing and seems useless. Like Elijah said, the post is bizarre and I didn't learn anything. I agree with Diana that we "don't learn anything from looking at planets spinning faster and slower. At least I don't think so," I quote. I really didn't like it.
I thought that the animation was intriguing. It did not show, however, what wold happen over a long period of time. For instance, the sun dies after around 10,000,000 years. The animation only showed the same thing over and over. I would like to learn more about the actual rotation of the planets around the sun. I also agree with Elijah. The game was confusing. I also agree with Brandon. The maker should have included moons in the animation. I learned that there were more dwarf planets than I had thought before. I thought there were only two. The animation could have been better, but I enjoyed it anyway.
I think the scratch was really cool. To see all of the planets (including pluto and other dwarfs) and everything else orbiting at different speeds was fun. I wonder how you can make everything move faster. I am not very good with scratch, and seeing this amazed me.
I think the solar system interactive was okay. It wasn't very educational because all you could do was watch the planets orbit around the sun, and the planets' size was way off compared to the size of the sun. I also think it was weird that there were dwarf planets, but that there were no moons orbiting the planets.
