My Game Topic

My game topic is about Ocean Pollution I choose this topic because a lot of people don't take care of the ocean that much and its a real specific topic in pollution. I choose this topic because I feel that nobody really pay attention to the seriousness of ocean pollution and by making a game will help realize why its a big issue.


These are the links to my game sorcues:

Reflection

My game is created for any grade level because its a simple task that's needed to complete the game,so there is no prior knowledge needed.


My game will teach you how to really take care of the earth and not pollute a lot because when we do that we can begin to kill a lot of animals.


My game happens in the Ocean there is no specific location the location can be in any known oceans/waters.
-In my game the setting will help teach the player that any where in the waters pollution can affect it.


My game teaches the player about the topic by showing that by polluting near by the ocean can interfere with the marine life that lives there.
-What helps my player learn is that it shows the player that you can help keep the ocean clean and no-polluted.
-From using what they learned in the game can help them save the animals in the game before they die.


A game is a better way to teach someone about a topic is because a lot of people enjoy playing games.With games people will focus more on the game and they will understand it more.With a quiz they can just put random answers and still not understand the game topic.

The penguins habitat challenges their lives everyday because when they have snow storms;if they don't stay warm they could die.


What are some adaptations penguins need in order to survive?


The types of adaptations penguins need in order to survive is their body shape has to be a certain way so that they swim fast underwater so they can run away from predators and also they need to have a lot of blubber so they can stay warm when they are stuck in snow storms and not freeze to death.

4.Why is there a long period of time where the sun doesn't shine in Antarctica?


The reason why the sun doesn't shine for a long period of time is most likely because the position of where Antarctica is it can't reach the amount of sunlight like we get.
