Have you ever done PLP science? Well I just completed my first ever science project and here’s how it went. In this project I discovered that I can communicate my knowledge of atoms in a fun and creative way!

Observations 

Before we actually make the game we had to do some learning. We did labs,  this is where you would get assigned a partner and get a task and a sheet to fill out along your experiments. An example would be one of our first labs called ‘The Black Box’, in this case called the Black jar since we used a mini container instead of the box. For this task we would get a mini black jar that you can’t see inside, and there is random stuff inside of it. Then using your six senses you would try to guess from the sound of it, when you shake it and the weight of it, what is inside. This lab taught me how to be aware of my senses and make careful and smart observations.

Game

To show our knowledge of atoms we made a video game. This video game had to show our knowledge of atoms in a creative way. So my idea was to make a character that defeated an atom. Sadly though since scratch is such a buggy app my game deleted half way through making it. So instead I made a game called matter dash. It’s where you would jump over matter while learning about facts. This game taught me patience and how to express my thoughts in a new and creative way!

But don’t worry, if you couldn’t complete it here’s a video of me completing it:,

My favourite part of this project

I had two favourite parts of this project! My first one was the labs. I learnt that I can have fun and learn valuable knowledge at the same time. Doing the lab was fun because you weren’t just sitting around in a normal class all day you were doing a task and felt more motivated to do it.
My second favourite part of the project was trying out everyone’s games since after all the hard work and coding of the project we could finally celebrate what we did and have fun while seeing everyone else’s game (my favourite game was Cece’s).

Reflection

This project was really fun and enjoyable. I learned a lot about the atom and how to make observational skills. If i could do two things better in this project I would’ve looked at more tutorials for scratch and be more precise with my observations. This project has been blast and make sure to check out some of my other posts.
