TECH 2

Area of Interaction: Community and Service Significant Concept: Video games can be used to understand math, technology, engineering, social studies, English, and/or science. Unit Question: How can my learning help my community?

Requirements: -Create a video game for Midvale students. Your game needs to help middle school students with one subject area. You can use the following site to help you with question ideas: [|UEN] -Choose a video game site to use, such as Atmosphir, Power Game, or your favorite game maker site. (You must approve it through me) -Your game needs to have at least 20 questions. -Complete and use the Design Cycle -Spend one day practicing Atmosphir. -Your Assignment is due February 10.

<span style="color: #e7ac36; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">You will receive an academic grade and an MYP grades for this assignment.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Investigate:

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Completely explain the problem and its relevance to your life. I need to create a game to study for a particular subject using 20 questions. It relates to my life by using my knowledge and what I have learned to help other people. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Critically investigate the problem and evaluate information from a variety of appropriate sources. I have looked at Minecraft, Atmosphir, Powergame, UEN, and my former AP tests. I like Minecraft because it is very much geared around creativity and it could be easy to create what I need to do to finish this project. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Provide a detailed explanation of how you will test your product against the design specifications. (requirements) I will do this by using the design cycle the whole time I am doing this project, and I will pay close attention to the design specifications.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Design:

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Create a range of possible designs, and evaluate all of them against the design specifications (requirements). I looked at Minecraft, Atmosphir, and Powergame, but ruled out Powergame and Minecraft because they took too long and were too complicated for me. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Choose the best design and evaluate it fully against the design specifications (requirements). I think I will use Atmosphir because of its simplicity and its ease. I can easily make questions to use. Wait, never mind. Atmosphir messed up and I think I will use Minecraft. After a closer look, it was easier than I thought.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Plan:

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Create a plan that contains a number of detailed, logical steps that describes how you will use your resources and time. I will create a game in Atmosphir. I will give the player two or more options for a question. The right answer will give a reward, and the wrong answer will release a monster or make the player fall into a trap. I plan to create the terrain and environment first and then work on the questions. Questions: 1. What is the function of the mitochondria in a cell? 2. What is the atomic number of Helium? 3. What does a plant cell have that an animal cell doesn't? 4. What is the atomic number of hydrogen? 5. If 3 O2 molecules are in a cell and 1 is out of the cell, how many will go out? 6. There are 10 salt molecules inside the cell and 3 outside. Is the solution outside hypertonic or hypotonic? 7. What does the term "selectively permeable" mean? 8. Name type of diffusion. 9. What is a function of the cell membrane? 10. True or false: eukaryotic cells are simple. 11. What is the name of the part of the cell that digests old cell parts? 12. What is ATP formed by? 13. Which is harder, diamond, gold, or iron? 14. What is ATP? 15. Are enzymes important to survival? 16. What is the first level of organism classification? 17. Are wolves made of prokaryotic cells or eukaryotic? 18. Name one of the parts of cell theory. 19. What does a eukaryote have that a prokaryote does not? 20. What school subject is the best?

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Evaluate the plan and justify any changes to your design. My plan seems very good. I had to change my design from Atmosphir to Minecraft because Atmosphir screwed up.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Create:

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Skillfully use appropriate techniques and equipment. I did that. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Follow your plan, justify changes in the plan, and create an appropriate product using your resources and time. I changed my plan from Atmosphir to Minecraft because Atmosphir glitched up.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Evaluate:

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Evaluate your product based on the design specifications, results of testing, and feedback from self and others. My product turned our very well. I created the game using minecraft, making 20 different science questions. I think that my game is a very good study tool, and my friends think that is pretty good too. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Evaluate your performance at each stage of the design cycle and suggest improvements. My plan could have been a little bit more thought out at first. I should do a better job investigating next time. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Completely explain how sticking to a task impacts your life and environment. Sticking to a task helps you complete things successfully. If you stick with it and always try to do your best, then you will create a great product that can help you and the others around you instead of just giving up.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Attitude:

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">You were consistently motivated and respectful. (and not a whiny baby!) I was always working hard, and was respectful to everyone.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Unit Question: <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">How can my learning help my community? My learning helps the community very much. When I learn, I can use the knowledge that I have gained to help others with the same things.
