Python Turtle Guide for GCSE Students

This document is a lesson on using iteration (loops) in Python turtle programs. It provides examples of FOR loops and tasks students to draw shapes using FOR loops, including more complex shapes that involve varying the number of points and angle turned. The final task has students copy and run code that uses loops to draw balloons. Pictures of the output from the tasks are to be pasted into the document. The document reminds students about basic turtle commands and how to use a FOR loop in Python turtle programs.

Reminder : The Turtle Instructions


import turtle Tell Python to allow use of turtle commands

wn = turtle.Screen() Create a virtual canvas to draw on (Screen)

bob = turtle.Turtle() Create a new turtle called bob

bob.forward(150) Go forward (150 units)

bob.backward(150) Go backward (150 units)

bob.right(90) Turn right (90 degrees)

bob.left(90) Turn left (90 degrees)

bob.penup() Lifts the pen up so you can move the turtle without drawing

bob.pendown() Drops the pen back onto the screen so you can draw

bob.pensize(5) Sets the turtle drawing width to 5 units (1 = thinnest)

bob.fillcolor(“Brown”) Changes the fill colour to brown(or other colour)

bob.pencolor(“Red”) Changes the pen colour to red (or other colour)

bob.begin_fill() Begins to fill the shape

bob.end_fill() End the filling sequence

bob.circle(100) Draw a circle of radius 100 units
