Day after tomorrow DDD YR 8
Activity 1
Lab 01 – Infection detection
Option 1, 2 or 3 – varying levels of difficulty. 1 is the easiest, 3 is the hardest. You can either get students to work through them 1, 2 and 3 or start at 3.
Using a coordinate grid, students are to place a ‘scout’ on the grid. Along the bottom, students will be given a clue with how far away they are from the infected. Markers are to then be placed to help identify possible areas for the infected to be. Place another scout, remove markers that would no longer work and then repeat with the final scout. Students will hopefully be able to find the coordinate of the infected person and go on to find the other three infected people.
Activity 2
Lab 02 – Super antidote
Option 1, 2 or 3 – varying levels of difficulty. 1 is the easiest, 3 is the hardest. You can either get students to work through them 1, 2 and 3 or start at 3.
Using the four clues, students are to identify how much they need of each ingredient for each of the infected. Repeat to cure the other two patients.
Activity 3
Lab 03 – Strategic planning
Option 1, 2 or 3 – varying levels of difficulty. 1 is the easiest, 3 is the hardest. They will only have time to do one option here so start the on the correct level, depending on how well they have been doing so far.
They will need to download a spreadsheet each time. Examples are given with each download. They must read the instructions on the first tab, then they fill it all in in the second tab, the third tab is the example spreadsheet.
Plenty of good discussions to be had about who to give the higher antidote to from SLT to the cleaners for example.
