How to play
- Press the green flag. Find the Sun, Earth and Moon.
- Imagine the Moon as seen from the red person on Earth. Choose one of the three pictures below.
- Try again from a different position. Use the top-right button to move the Sun.
The three choices also use the left, down and right arrow keys. 太陽 means Sun. 太陽の位置を変える means Change the Sun’s position. The diagram shows sunlight reaching the Moon; answer from the observer’s viewpoint, rather than copying the view from above.
For families and teachers
Use the model to discuss why the illuminated part we see changes. The picture is a simplified model and is not drawn to scale.
This English guide uses the original Chicodori Scratch project. Some labels remain in Japanese. You can explore and remix the project on Scratch.
