WEEK 17 - JANUARY 6-10, 2020 TO WEEK 21 - FEBRUARY 4-7, 2020
Coding Quest Project - Game Design Title Page and Logo + Code Your Game
Students will compare and contrast various video game covers and logos, pulling out key design characteristics. They will then design their own video game cover for the idea that they developed in their snapshot.
Coding Quest Project - Game Story Summary + Code Your Game
Students write a game story describing what is happening during the game. Students should refer back to their planned video game and then write their story in paragraph form.
Coding Quest Project - Game Instructions + Code Your Game
At this point, students are creating their games and will need to create playing instructions. Students will answer some questions and then use that information to craft instructions to be uploaded to their Scratch project page. This section should also include sources for any graphics they used and credit anyone who has helped with their game.
Coding Quest - Arcade Preparation + Code Your Game
Students are almost ready to present their video game at the Arcade. At this point, students should begin creating advertising for their game using a display board that showcases the entire project (inquiry question, research, story, instructions, logo, game cover, coding and plenty of pics). Students should also put together a 30-second elevator pitch to present to the gamers at the Arcade.

Review Unit 12: Separation Techniques and Unit 13: Forces
Explore Learning Gizmo: Force and Fan Carts - www.explorelearning.com
Aim: To determine that a force is needed to cause a change in motion. To understand that friction is a force resisting motion. To see that a moving object will continue at constant speed if no forces are acting upon it. To understand the relationship between speed, position and time.
