Thursday

• 3:00- 4:30 for the experiment

Mini-Retreat: Friday 9:00-12:00 end game

ID/DV: ready to turn into game:
• Do Not Need:
o Login
o Opening pretest

• Tries and items are the rows and columns: Build into walls and or other creative areas.

Cave 1: identify what are constant and variables.
• Dialogues: In science we call things we don’t change constant things that change a variable.

Cave 2: identify dependents variable
• what is the cause, what the effect
• Dialogue: in science we call it dependent/independent
• All experiments will show a change.
• Only have 1 independent. and 1 dependent all the rest are constant.
• Convey that: In science things stay constant the scientist makes sure it stays that way.

Cave 3: IV is something I change.
• Don’t use plank length instead use depth of water

Cave 4: possible have another cave for practice – Here is an experiment and have player selects the constant and variables.

Other ideas to convey:
• 2 kinds of change: What we change and the results

Randy will write 40 experiments.

Songs:
Independent are things I change

Need a script for whole game – positive reinforcement and hints

Experiment: hand washing
Convey these messages
• Bac cause food illness
• Washing removes bac
• Can’t experiment with one need multiple
• Agar plates

Players need to state:
• Hypothesis -
• Constant and variables

The way you wash your hands is the experiment 4 pirates in group. Total or 16 pirates
• No wash - 4 pirates
• Wash with water - 4 pirates
• Wipe hands on pants - 4 pirates
• Wash with water and dry with towel - 4 pirates.

Make sure to show variables – ie some of the hands that were just wiped on their pants are cleaner then washing but one which created more bacteria on the hands. Because the he is the cook and handles meats.

Look to see if the results support the hypothesis – which is the conclusion reported to the captain.

Trailer: Need to get feedback!!
Revisit and redo to show the following:
• Change the title - add the word “Captain Brownbeard”
• Show parts of all the avatars not the whole apple sak guy
• Simple pan across the ship
• Not so much animation looking
• Black shadow of the sea creatures. Not the so much the animation of the crab. (remove the crab?)
• Show silhouette of the sick characters. Don’t reveal the whole chanracters
• Start with logo and end with logo.
• Possibly have opening and closing in illustration and between have 3D. Blend of book illustration of the sunken ship and then goes 3D
