This got us thinking about how we could possibly use our “Minute to Win It” game in order to enhance learning for students. That is where you come in… ?We are looking to have students design educational “Minutes to Win It” games that will actually reinforce learning within the classroom. We need creative, knowledgeable problem-solvers that will be able to step up to this challenge. ?If you believe that you are up to the challenge, here are some guidelines you will need to keep in mind:You will need to design 3 fun challenges that will reinforce 3 learning targets from the following list:I can explain what a solar system is.I can identify and describe the 8 major planets of the solar system.I can define gravity and explain how gravity impacts orbits.I can define and describe moons, comets, asteroids, and meteoroids.I can define and describe stars.I can explain the distance from our star, the sun, and its impact on Earth.I can compare/represent distances and sizes within the solar system using scale.I can explain why days and night occurs.I can explain what a year is.I can explain why seasons exist.Challenges should be fun and creative and physical. ?Students should have to do something active in order to demonstrate understanding of a learning target. Each challenge that you design will have to be able to be completed in four minutes or less. ?(Note that in order to have students demonstrate mastery of content, we are giving them “minutes” to win it instead of the game show’s typical one minute.) Make sure to test the feasibility of this as you design challenges.You will need to provide clear instructions for each challenge.All challenges have to be tested and revised accordingly in order to make create the best possible challenge.The best challenges will be selected and used by “Minute to Win It” for educational purposes. ?We look forward to seeing what you come up with, and how it can be used as a learning tool for students across the nation. ?Good luck teams! ?We look forward to your designs!Sincerely,The “Minute to Win It” CrewAppendix 1.4: Instructional Videos and Internet LinksDay 1: Unit and Project Introduction"Minute to Win It Australia - Season 1, Episode 5, Part 3" (8:17)"Minute to Win It Episode 1 - Finale - Down to the Wire" (3:29)"Minute to Win It Episode 2 - Joe v Caroline - Face the Cookie" (2:33)“Tilt a Cup” (0:37)“Ready Spaghetti” (0:31)“Sharp Shooter” (0:23)“Ruler of the World” (0:25)“Office Tennis” (0:32)“Face the Cookie” (0:28)“Back Flip” (0:28)Day 2: The Planets of the Solar System“Here Comes the Sun: Crash Course Kids #5.1” (3:03) “The Biggest Stars in the Universe” (4:25)“Learning About the Planets in Our Solar System” (20:01)Solar System Cards Day 4: Celestial Bodies in the Solar System“Asteroids: Crash Course Astronomy #20” (11:32) *****”What are Asteroids?

Write the number 12 on the edge of the plate with a crayon. Using the ruler as a guide, draw a straight line from the number 12 to the hole in the center of the plate.Take Plate OutsideAt noon, take the plate and the straw outside. Put the plate on the ground and poke the straw through the hole. Slant the straw toward the line you drew. Now carefully turn the plate so that the shadow of the straw falls along the line to the number 12.Fasten Plate to GroundFasten the plate to the ground with some pushpins. Have your child predict where he/she thinks that the shadow of the straw will be pointing in one hour.Check Shadow Position HourlyOne hour later, at one o'clock, check the position of the shadow along the edge of the plate and write the number 1 on that spot. Continue each hour predicting the position and then checking and marking the actual position and time on the edge of the plate.Discuss Your Sun ClockAt the end of the day you and your child will have a sun clock. On the next sunny afternoon you will be able to tell time by watching where the shadow of the straw falls on your clock. ?Appendix 6.1:Name: __________________________Temperature Recording SheetDirections: Plug in light source and allow to heat up for 2 minutes.
