Session 11 - Python Turtle 2

Lesson Objectives 

 - To understand what a loop is

 - To understand how to use a simple for loop

 - To develop computational thinking skills

Red - You will have created a hexagon using a for loop
Amber - You will have edited the colour, and position of the hexagon
Green - You will use the skills learnt to draw a simple house

Starter

Main

RED TASK

A) Type up a program to create a hexagon  - use the help below if you need:

B) Save it as hexagon.py
C) Test it and make sure it works properly



AMBER TASK

A) Add this code to your hexagon.py program before    for x in range (6):

Screen().bgcolor("yellow") 
terry.color("blue") 
terry.pensize(5)

B) Run your program what does this new code do?
C) Can you tweak the code?


GREEN TASK

A) Use this code to move to a new place on the screen and then draw a second hexagon

terry.penup() # pick up the pen
terry.goto(10,10) # go to a x and y position
terry.pendown() # put the pen down

B) Post your code on your computer science blog


EXTENSION TASK

A) Using what you have learnt draw a simple house like this one. You will need to use terry.begin_fill() And terry.end_fill() 
B) Post your code on your computer science blog
