This is our team!!!

Right-Me-Programmer

Left-Bryce-Graphics Designer

Middle-Wes-Info Designer

I will be good as a programmer because I can read code! sorta.... :-(

But it will be fun and I will do my part!!!

The greatest challeng to working in a team is that I have to trust my team with graphics and info.. But i trust them and i know they will do great!!!

Research Topic

Ask Big Questions
Fill in the blanks: Our class is in the STEM knowledge community with a focus on science.
List 3 questions people generally have about this topic:

• Question 1: How does chemistry affect MY life?
• Question 2: How do physics affect me?
• Question 3: What do rocks and minerals have to do with the daily tasks of everyday life?

Of these three, choose one question you want to explore:

• Question: How does chemistry affect MY life?

[edit] Narrow Your Scope

Go to Wikipedia. Use key words or copy and paste your selected question into Wikipedia's search box. Browse your search results and explore internal links (links that keep you within Wikipedia) to find 3 different Wikipedia pages you think will help answer the question:

• 1. PHYSICS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics
• 2. CHEMISTRY http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry
• 3. ROCKS AND MINERALS http://en.wikipedia.org/Rocksandminerals

Of these pages, select one to read all the way through:

• Selected page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry

Now that you understand this broad knowledge area a little better, choose one subtopic from this Wikipedia page that interests you the most:

• Name of subtopic: chemicals

Look at the external references for this topic (external references send out outside of Wikipedia. Find a long list of these links at the bottom of the page). What was the most interesting website you found this way? If there aren’t references, or you don’t like the ones listed, list a source you would add and explain why you chose this site:

• Link: CHEMISTRY
• Explanation: This website has a search engine for all chemicals and helps you understand amazing things about them. It also has data on the periodic table.

From either the Wikipedia subtopic OR a reference link you found, find a short quote that explains a concept or states a fact that you would like other people to know. Paste it along with a link to its source here:

• Quote: Everything you see and touch is made up of elements and combinations of elements. Elements are the building blocks of matter, so if you are studying chemistry, you should become familiar with them.
• Link: CHEMISTRY

Elements and chemicals are what everything is made of so I need to learn about them.

My Topic is: chemistry

[edit] Choose 3 Flash games that relate to your topic.

What genre are these games? How do they inspire your thinking about making a game about your own topic? What did they do well, how can they be improved? NO QUIZZES!

• Game 1: Stinks and Bangs
  • Genre: Puzzle
  • Reflection: This game was educational but boring

• Game 2: Biology vs Chemistry
  • Genre: I have no idea.
  • Reflection: This game was violent and NOT educational.

• Game 3: Kitchen Chemistry
  • Genre: Strategy
  • Reflection: This game was educational but a little frustrating and confusing.

[edit] For researching your topic identify the following:

• Wiki Pages that will help my research:
  • 1.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry
  • 2.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_game

• Other Websites/Informational resources:
  • 1.chemistry.about.com/

Mini Game

Hey we had to do a mini game about a bunny and a rabbit. IT WAS NOT EASY! very frustrating...

My Game Idea

My game idea is having a school of magic that trains kids to be magicians and 

wizards. There will be a different section to deal with each of the topics listed above, for example, there will be a section where you have to mix potions. Getting the right answer will allow you to mix the potion into the pot. The wrong answer will cause the potion to blow up. There will be several sections about other stuff like casting spells which will ask questions about physics. I suppose I will improvise as I go along. My group has some pretty good ideas. We'll see how our game turns out!!!

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT!!!

Hey for all of ya who have been watching AGT, they are down to the final 4:Prince Poppycock, Michael Grimm, Jackie Evancho, and Fighting Gravity.

AGT (America's got talent) is the world's largest and greatest talent show.
Every summer they show it, and like a thousand people audition.  The judges (Piers Morgan, Sharon Osborne, Howie Mandel) eliminate the talentless ones and narrow it down to about 200, which they further break down into 40. Then the judges no longer have the choice, the watchers at home can get on and vote, and they have it down to the top 4. Oh yeah and the winner gets 1 million dollars and a headlined show in Las Vegas.

Prince Poppycock: A talented opera singer.  He dresses up with a lot of make-up and wears a big powdered wig.  He's pretty good but not my favorite.

Michael Grimm: Another singer, he has a good voice too.

Jackie Evancho: Only 10 years old and can sing AMAZING! She sings opera but it is amazing check her out on youtube.

Fighting Gravity:  My Favorite!  They are like a dance group, sorta.  They wear these glow in the dark suits, then the lights go out and they dance and it looks like they're floating or something it's just SOOOO coooool!!!
