+#### 1. Set the Scene
+
+| Activity | Set The Scene (7 min) |
+|---|---|
+| ![Set the Scene thumbnail](/static/skillmap/shark/shark1.gif) | Set up your laser-firing ocean shark. |
+| Blocks used | ``[scene.setBackgroundColor(0)]``<br/>``[let mySprite = sprites.create(img`.`, SpriteKind.Player)]``<br/>``[controller.moveSprite(mySprite)]``<br/>``[let mySprite: Sprite = null; mySprite.setStayInScreen(true)]``<br>``[controller.A.onEvent(ControllerButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {})]``<br/>``[projectile = sprites.createProjectileFromSprite(img`.`, mySprite)]``|
+| Solution option | [Set the Scene Project](https://makecode.com/_ghyiPCDsJLAC) |
+
+
+
+
+#### 2. Food not Friends
+
+| Activity | Food not Friends (7 min) |
+|---|---|
+| ![Food not Friends thumbnail](/static/skillmap/shark/shark2.gif) | Back to an enemy-free ocean, this tutorial will go over spawing some food for your shark. |
+| Blocks used | ``[game.onUpdateInterval()]``<br/>``[myFood = sprites.create(img`.`, SpriteKind.Food)]``<br/>``[let myFood: Sprite = null; let mySprite: Sprite = null; myFood.setPosition(0 + mySprite.x, randint())]``<br/>``[let myFood: Sprite = null; myFood.vx = 0]``|
+| Solution option | [Food not Friends Project](https://makecode.com/_dLJHiifhR2ev) |
+
+#### 3. Eat Up!
+
+| Activity | Eat Up! (8 min) |
+|---|---|
+| ![Eat Up! thumbnail](/static/skillmap/shark/shark3.gif) | This game builds off the last level. Animate and gamify your shark's consumption of fish. |
+| Blocks used | ``[sprites.onOverlap(SpriteKind.Player, SpriteKind.Food, function (sprite, otherSprite) {})]``<br/>``[let otherSprite: Sprite = null; otherSprite.destroy(effects.disintegrate,)]``<br/>``[info.changeScoreBy()]``<br/>``[info.startCountdown()]``<br/>``[info.onCountdownEnd(function () {})]``<br/>``[game.over(true)]``|
+| Solution option | [Eat Up! Project](https://makecode.com/_WM31H3Uur331) |
+
+#### 4. Under the Sea
+
+| Activity | Under the Sea (8 min) |
+|---|---|
+| ![Under the Sea thumbnail](/static/skillmap/shark/shark4.gif) | Building off the previous level, this level mixes design with automated generation to create a unique sea environment for your shark. |
+| Blocks used | ``[scene.setBackgroundImage(img`.`)]``<br/>``[for (let index = 0; index < 10; index++) {}]``<br/>``[myDecor = sprites.create(img`.`,)]``<br/>``[let myDecor: Sprite = null; myDecor.setPosition(randint())]`` |
+| Solution option | [Under the Sea Project](https://makecode.com/_2D9JL6Rm36yC) |
+
+
+#### 5. Let's Get Animated!
+
+| Activity | Let's Get Animated! (15+) |
+|---|---|
+| ![Let's Get Animated! thumbnail](/static/skillmap/shark/shark4a.gif) | Animate your sprites for a more life-like game! |
+| Blocks used | _None_ |
+| Solution option | N/A |

+
+
+##### Game Mod Ideas
+
+After students work on "Let's Get Animated!", we encourage them to plan out how they want to modify this game to best suit their interests. Consider the following questions: 
+
+- What is an activity that I really like? How does that tell me who my hero should be?
+- When I do this activity, what supplies do I need? Replace the fishy food with these supplies!
+- What environment do I usually do this activity in? Replace the background with something similar!
+
+Don't forget to save this activity to projects and keep building!
