**From my experience implementing CS Discoveries with 7th grade students, I have come to realize that my students need a lot of additional practice in order to thoroughly understand the content being taught in each lesson. Thus, I have created extension/challenge activities to accompany each lesson of this module. I hope you find this helpful for teaching your students sprites!**

I have an additional extension activity to this project for students who finish early or need more of a challenge. This project requires students to change the x and y coordinates of their snow flakes so they appear to be falling in a snow globe. My students LOVED this activity!
