LOGO Challenge - Circles as Animals

Age 11 to 16
Challenge Level Yellow starYellow star
  • Problem
  • Teachers' Resources

You might like to look at LOGO Challenges 10 , 11 and 12 to help with the cricles generally and the concentric circles in particular.

There are a number of different ways to arrive at the first animal but it is worth thinking ahead and how you will use an animal from one generation to produce the next.

Does the first animal "die" after the third generation or is there a way forward??
