Stage 4
Link: http://www.classtools.net/pac/
Outcomes: A student relates the structure and function of living things to their classification, survival and reproduction SC4-14LW
Content:
LW2a. identify that living things are made of cells
b. identify structures within cells, including the nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell wall and chloroplast, and describe their functions
c. outline the role of respiration in providing energy for the activities of cells
d. identify that new cells are produced by cell division
e. distinguish between unicellular and multicellular organisms
This activity frames testing students on their knowledge of cells and reinforcing what they have learnt as a fun game. In creating quizzes for other students, they revise on their knowledge of cells and are also learning in the process without feeling like they are being forced to remember new content. Furthermore, the activity is engaging as it uses Pacman, a game familiar to students, to hook them in.
Activity: Students are to create a multiple choice quiz based on what they have learnt about cells. The quiz must have at least 8 questions. Students must also choose two other students’ quizzes and complete them for homework.
