I am in a real bind.  I have introduced the conditional "if" to my 8th
grade class.  We have a BIG integration product due by Thursday for a
Science/Tech Fair. The students are simulating their experience of
testing the velocity of water using oranges in a river. The orange
should stop either when it hits the rope or the girl shape.

Okay, here is the problem.

We wrote a procedure that that says 
If touching? "orange1 "t2 [stop announce [.486 m/s]]

This is not working.  The turtle is not reacting to the command.  Any
ideas?  I also tried using if colorunder = brown [stop announce [.486
m/s]


Please help
