**Alison Bloom's Scratchin' for Gold** I started my search for interesting Scratch projects and came across this one titled :Mystery Island. I really like this project because it reminds me of a choose your own adventure book. In this game the user has the ability to decide what will happen next and can make choices and retrieve items that bring them to positive or negative consequences based on the creators programming. Very creative!

The next text adventure I found was even more detailed and intricate and many of my fourth grade students would love the choices that are allowed as you navigate this adventure story-choosing items and directions that affect the outcome of the story. It was crazy and humorous, as well as logical.

In this Scratch project there is a cute demonstration of the states of matter. This would appropriate to show when I teach basic chemistry. I think the students would find this clip fun and informative, and visual learners would especially benefit from this presentation style.
