Ok, you already read the title, you know what this is, another school blog post. This time, on our chemistry coding project in Scimatics (science and math). First, some context. In this project we had the exciting task of coding a game on the platform known as scratch, I hope you know what that is, if not, click the link. Or… you could just click this link right here. We had to base our projects on the states of matter, by which I mean plasma is excluded, as per usual, and make these changes have an impact on the game.
Anyway, my game was called Soviet Atom-Pong, and the idea is that you control a paddle, and try to block the incoming atoms, which are actually atomic bombs. If you last 2 minutes, a second atom shows up, if you last 4 minutes, a molecule shows up, if you last 5 minutes, Joseph Stalin shows up and promotes you to Marshall of the Soviet Union, the highest possible rank in the Soviet red army. He will then block all of the incoming atoms on his own, and then you win.
Now about the curricular competencies, which, if you haven’t noticed, I write about a lot. First up to the plate, we have Questioning and predicting. I think I did pretty good at this, as I was able to use a topic that interests me, while still staying on topic and using the states of matter, at least, it worked out in the end. Next up to bat we have scientific communication. I did good on this one in my opinion, and this is because I used a historical model of an atom, used three different types, as required, and did quite well on making my game, other than this one glitch that I would have to change the model and fall short of the requirements to fix. Finally, two outs, two strikes, and home run! We have reasoning and analyzing. I am proud of how I did on this one, because I believe my game was good, worked well, and stayed on topic, and most importantly, I made it myself!
Anyway, that was my project. What? Y’all act like you don’t know what happens next, come on do it with me,
