Situation

You know a Grade 7 Science teacher who has just finished teaching the “Planet Earth” unit to her students. The teacher wants you to design a game to help students review what they have learned in their unit.

---

Proejct Task

Design a game based on the concepts and terms from this “Planet Earth” unit.
 
The design of the game should show imagination and creativity, and it should be an effective representation of the content of this unit. You do not have to build the game necessarily; your assignment is to design it. Of course, the best way to show your design may be to build it!

---

Before you begin your design, ask yourself these questions:

"What type of fun game would Grade 7 students like to play?"

"How can I build a game that reviews the content in this unit?"

---

Method

Choose the way you would like to design your game. Your game should be fun, but it also must challenge the players with knowledge or skills that match the contents of this unit. Here are some suggestions:

• Board game: Players move around a board and answer questions or perform tasks
  
  
• Card game: Players use decks of cards to challenge each other based on the information found on the cards.
  
  
• Jeopardy: A series of statements must be “answered” in the form of questions.
  
  
• Video game: Your imagination is the only limit. Players can participate in RPG (role-playing games), first person adventures, resource gathering and crafting, or other game types.
  
  
• Use other creative ideas, but check with your teacher first!
