This project was really fun. It combined our knowledge of the kinetic molecular theory and our love of games into a science game! I used to really love those games where you find the items around the room around and they want to use that in my game. I also wanted to incorporate the states of matter into my game.
The website we used was *Scratch, a coding website that was very easy for beginners. A few things I didn’t like were how often games would glitch and many of my friends complained of that as well. One of my friends even had hers deleted and had to restart. It’s a good one for beginners, just watch out for the glitches, and be prepared if it deletes. 3.5 stars!
I started off by grabbing a table off of Google that was if course, it’s Creative Commons licensed. I grabbed an ice cube, and a flask of water and we were set with our main ingredients. Once that was done I got a bowl image, and wanted to make it so that when you tap it, your task you appear. Luckily for me it was that hard to figure out since using Scratch is so easy. I’m not going to talk over the entire process, but it was a tedious one for sure.
Testing other people’s games!
One persons game that everyone wanted to try was Eloise’s! Hers was kind of like geometry dash, except it’s just jumping over one thing and it keeps coming, but it was really, hard, and I still haven’t beaten it yet… the link to her blog is here so you can try to beat it too!
How to play!
My game is the simplest thing before Kraft Mac N Cheese. You start off with a task, turning ice cubes into steam! Grab the ice cube and out it into your bag, then press the arrow to head over to the science lab! Fun fact, the photo was taken in my actual science classroom! Grab a pot, and drag it to your bag as well! Then you go to the stove and turn it on. Then you at the ice cube and click and BAM! STEAM!!!
Conclusion
This was one of best PLP projects I’ve done! It made learning super fun and I would definitely recommend to other classes! 8.9/10!
