The Invertebrate Game
| 1.Gather Information |
| 2. Develop Game Questions |
| 3. Write Instructions/rules |
| 4. Design Game Board and Play Pieces |
|
Create a game: (60 points) * Your game MUST include a game board, done with graphics/pictures, words, and color, moving pieces * The questions you developed will be used as a part of the game * Your questions will be graded on creativity and ACCURACY! * You will write out the directions for your game so the game can easily be played without guidance from your team * Spelling and grammar count * Cooperative work within your group will be evaluated by individuals within your group and by teacher observation * The teacher will evaluate creativity and quality of work |
Gather information about the Invertebrate groups and then develop questions to be used in the game.
|
Create a short study guide for each organism that will cover 4-6 key characteristics that allow scientists to identify your organism. For instance if you were creating a study guide about mammals your list would include: (10 points)
Create at least 20 questions about each organism. Include the answers. These questions will: (40 points) * Include questions about which organisms are included in your phyla (6 or more) * Include questions about characteristics of these organisms (6 or more) * Include questions that describe how your two phyla are similar to each other (at least 4) * Include questions that describe how your two phyla are different from each other (at least 4) |
