Project Intro
Students will be doing an Earth, Physical, and Life Sciences for this project. They will be assigned based on MAP RIT scores.
Students working in groups will do the Science topic chosen by the teacher. This may be whichever is the lowest or highest at the teacher discretion.
Science Game Project
Task: You will create one interesting, creative, factually accurate and FUN board game related to your science topic (e.g. Grade 6 Erosion, Weathering and Soil, Grade 5 skeletal and/or muscular system). The style of the game is up to you. Think of your favorite board games and use them as inspiration to create your own unique game.
Objective: Your game MUST teach the players about your topic.

The style of the game is up to you. Think of your favorite board games and use them as inspiration to create your own unique game.
Objective: Your game MUST teach the players about your topic.
Instructions:
- You will work on your own or in pairs. You will be evaluated on your productivity and use of time during class work periods.
- You will construct a board game based on the information you have learned in class and researched during your work periods. You are expected to cover all different aspects of the topic (e.g. how sound travels, pitch, loudness, how vibrations cause sound, etc, or, identify the different muscles, why are they important to you).
- The style of the game is up to you, but you MUST have at least 25 questions. The questions must take the form of multiple choices or fill in the blank. True and false questions are not allowed. You must also provide the answers to the questions.
- You must decide how your players move around the board (e.g. using a spinner or dice). Include all pieces you will need to play the game.
- Your game board must be clearly and neatly marked.
- Any images on your game board must be relevant to your topic.
- Your game MUST fit in a SMALL pizza/calzone sized box like your teacher showed you.
- You are able to use a computer, not it is NOT required.
- You must create an assessment for your game that players take after they finish your game.
