Focus Area: Be a Computer Scientist
5th Grade 
Day 6-7-  Computer Science Careers- Animator


1. Vocabulary:

1. computer animation: the manipulation of electronic images by means of a computer in order to create moving images.



2. computer-generated imagery (CGI) animation-  three-dimensional (3-D) in which objects and characters are modeled on a plane with an X, Y and Z axis.  CGI may refer to static or animated content, whereas computer animation specifically refers to displays of objects in motion.

3. key frames- an outline of the most important movements

4. 
tweening- mathematical algorithms to fill in the "in-between" frames




2. Lesson: 
​​
Picture

3. Activity:

1. Go to Introduction to Animation at Khan Academy and complete each lesson.
2. Go to Rendering at Khan Academy and complete each lesson


4. Wrap-Up:
​
  • What are your takeaways from today's activities? 
  • What activities/topics would you like to cover by the end of this focus area?
5. Extension:

  • Go to ABCYa to Animate Me! to create your own animation.
  • ​Go to Scratch and Animate your name. Log in (lunch number, lunch number with initials at the end), click Create. Click on the ? in the top right corner. Click on Animate Name and follow the directions. Animate your name and create your own animations.
