Sixth Grade Technology Algodoo Project
What the heck is Algodoo?? Good question. It's a physics-simulator sandbox game. Does that help? No? Well, it's a unique 2D-simulation environment for creating interactive scenes in a playful, cartoony manner.
That clears it up, doesn't it? No?
Don't worry, you'll figure it out by using it.
1. Ask Mr. Gilley to assign one of the Technology Classroom iMacs to you. You may work with a partner or by yourself. You will need to use this same iMac until the Algodoo project is complete.
2. To sign in, type "fifth period" and leave the password blank.
3. Then sign into your PPS account on Google Chrome.
4. Go to DRIVE and MAKE A COPY OF THIS TURN IN DOCUMENT.
Crash course, Tools, Sketch Tool, Float and Sink, Friction of a slide objet, and Rainbows.
7. Click on this youtube video to learn how to make motors.
