Demonstrate the possibilities of movement using the Turtle
Visualize space, co-ordinates and shapes through movement and vice versa
Familiarization with the move/ draw/ colour functionalities of Turtle Art
Familiarization of ways of defining parameters - movement, co-ordinates and colour
Hands-on Activity
Activity #1 (Part A)
Making the Turtle move without a trace
Instruct the turtle to move by repeating a set of instructions
Determine/ identify the shape the turtle will trace; pay attention to the orientation of the turtle
View this with the co-ordinates and without the co-ordinates
Count the number of times instructions are repeated
What is the relation, if any, between the number of times the instruction is repeated and the shape traced by the turtle
Color the palette

Hands-on Activity
Activity #1 (Part B)
Making the Turtle move with a trace
Change the pen parameters - colour and thickness
Instruct the turtle to move by repeating a set of instructions
Determine/ identify the shape the turtle will trace; pay attention to the orientation of the turtle. Is this the same/ different as what you expected when you did not trace? If there is a difference, what is different and why?
Describe the turtle's movement (in words)
View this with the co-ordinates and without the co-ordinates
Count the number of times instructions are repeated
What is the relation, if any, between the number of times the instruction is repeated and the shape traced by the turtle. Show this using "Run" and "Step" options to understand the movement
Colour the palette with the given values.
And execute the code in the the following three sequences and find out why the output is different

Questions and Assignments
See the picture here. What should the command have been for this? How many times were the instructions repeated?
