Chemical Dominoes Project
The goal of this project was to create a board game that incorporated 4 different changes in energy: synthesis reaction, decomposition reaction, combustion reaction, and lighting an LED. My group decided to base our game off of The Dangerous Book for Boys game. The theme we used for the game was camping, so the kids that would play our game would travel around the board doing fun camping activities like fireworks and roasting marsh mellows with the chemical reactions incorporated into the activity. The details and chemical reactions about our game is in the document below.
I thought this project went very well. Everyone in our group did a good job of working together and splitting up the tasks in a timely matter. Everyone completed their tasks on time and we were all able to converge to together to make the document above. When it came to deciding board game ideas, everyone was listening to what each person had to say. We actually decided to do The Dangerous Book for Boys idea because it was one that none of us had heard of and we were curious to learn more about it. One thing that I could have done better is take more of a leadership role in the project and helped keep our discussions on topic. Sometimes we would get distracted and might have wasted some useful time. Another thing I should have done is not mess around with Angus Brodeur, on elf my partners, as much as I did.
