Week 12 Final Draft of Scratch Game



I wanted to create a game that I could use at work.  We needed to add more content to our model rocketry workshop, so that is why I chose to focus my game on learning Newton’s Laws of Motion.  This game gives you the definition and you have to choose the correct corresponding law.    

The process I used to create this game was trial and error.  I would come up with an idea then try to program it.  I had to do this several times and examine other projects that were similar to mine so that I could get other ideas of how to ask the questions and provide feedback for each of the answers.  Creating this game was challenging for me, but I learned patience and persistence. I also learned that there are several ways to program a basic concept. 

I really liked that I was the science teacher in this game.  It shows the current and future generations that anyone can be a “scientist,” even a female scientist!  If I could change anything in my game, I would want to add more questions.  I want to continue creating games that I can use in my workshops and in my future classroom.

  1. Good points. I loved that you put yourself into the game but did not think of the message that girls as well as boys can be scientists.
