Student has Scratch code that makes text change size, gets smaller and then larger. He wants to know how to do that in code studio. We are in unit 3, lesson 6.

That’s definitely possible in Game Lab. Here’s one example of how to animate some text using textSize and World.seconds: [https://studio.code.org/projects/gamelab/k6yhAp995h25c3vZ2jz0RG4Ly4pyV1sjEa\_zknABaKY](https://studio.code.org/projects/gamelab/k6yhAp995h25c3vZ2jz0RG4Ly4pyV1sjEa_zknABaKY)
If you’re curious, here’s another thread about other ways to animate text: [http://forum.code.org/t/unit-3-animation/11603](http://forum.code.org/t/unit-3-animation/11603)
Thanks!
