11-06-06 Meeting

To do:
• CC - See if the Flash movie of the experiments will work in shockwave for IV DV
• Group - if CC says yes it works, start on creating the IV DV graphics and animations
• Matt - Preloader samples, assets list & map of the island send to Barb
• Barb - email Randy for iinformation about: Not a curse; science is the answer. Hypothesis & observation. Constant
• Barb -if the content of the 4 paragraphs teach kids what they need to know when they get to hand washing experiments.

------------------------------------------------------
4 paragraphs from Randy:
• Bacteria is one cause of food borne illness (sung by Carl or tiki in Carl’s hut),
• washing removes bacteria (after leaving Carl’s hut sung by tiki),
• Agar plates (in the lab),
• Repeat experiments several ties (sung by? Start of hand washing experiment).

• The paragraphs will be sent to Bob without modifications to the text.
• Need to find out from Randy if the content of 4 paragraphs teach kids what they need to know when they get to hand washing experiments.
------------------------------------------------------
IV DV:
Reviewed the experiments from Randy and we all like.
Need to fix wording and make more consistent.

Cave 1-3 starts with the introduction to the process. A tutorial of a sort – we go through and do one experiment to show them what is constant, IV & DV
Each cave will have 5 experiments

Cave 1: some things change and some don’t change: which are constant and variables.
1st experiment: Intro where we show them a sample
2nd experiment: Find constant in table form to pictures
3rd experiment: Drag pictures
4th experiment: Drag text
5th experiment: Multi choice forms

Cave2: dependent variable
1st experiment: Intro where we show them a sample – here are the constant and variables and now look at the variable Cause and effects
2nd experiment: Find constant in table form to pictures
3rd experiment: Drag pictures
4th experiment: Drag text
5th experiment: Multi choice forms

Cave 3: Independent Variable
1st experiment: Intro where we show them a sample – what I change
2nd experiment: Find constant in table form to pictures
3rd experiment: Drag pictures
4th experiment: Drag text
5th experiment: Multi choice forms


Cave 4:
No intro
All multiple choice 5 of them

Feedback/ game play response
• Need feedback/game play response for each experiment.
• Type of feedback: Great job. Almost… Things that stay the same are constant…
• Feedbacks could be pop up or parrot

Preloeader comic panels
Possibly have students in Barb's class write content for some of the panels
