YOUR WEEKNITE MISSION PLAN

GETTING STARTED - JOINING A BATTLE TEAM

  • Divide into four five battle teams (groups):
    1. One NEWS team (say 4 people)
    2. Four BATTLE teams (max 4-5 students per team)
  • Extra roles for designated individuals:
  1. One Battle captain (must keep all battle teams informed and to liase with news team)
  2. Four Code hackers - Responsible for data entry and code hacking

PLANNING MISSION - MAKING YOUR BATTLE PLAN

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to use the information supplied by your spies to design a plan and then carry out that plan and defeat the baddies.

You should BRIEFLY write down and explain your plan using a scientific method. For example:

  • Discuss or do some background research
  • Construct a hypothesis (a guess) about what you expect to happen
  • Test your hypothesis by performing an experiment
  • Write down what materials you will require.
  • Write down the 'procedure' that you will use.
  • Record your observations in a table of results and include labeled drawings.
  • Analyse the data, write down your results, conclusions and suggestions for improvements.

You should write down your plan so that others could repeat or carry out your plan and/or avoid your mistakes in case the Zombies kidnap you or defeat your team before you have been successful.

REMINDER:

  • Your mission must be completed without any animal, human or physical object coming closer than a minimum distance of five metres from any part of the wall.
  • The Zombies are watching - Your first mission should be to disable the Zombie surveillance system before you start work on your main battle plan!
  • Stay up to date. Watch for clues in 'The News' and read the latest spy reports from agent Triple Zero



BATTLE PLAN

You may find it useful to write down your plan in your science journal using suggested headings shown below:

MATERIALS:

PROCEDURE:

OBSERVATIONS:

RESULTS:

DISCUSSION:

Don't forget to draw and label diagrams and/or use video/multimedia wherever you think that may be useful. You only need to make brief notes - You don't need to write an essay of draw pretty pictures. It doesn't matter if your spelling is 100% correct, so long as everyone can understand what you draw or write down.

May the fourth be with you!



1. TOP SECRET: THE ZOMBIES ARE WATCHING!

Agent Triple Zero has reported:

  • The Zombies have set up surveillance devices at four locations.
  • Each device can detect and destroy any human/animal that comes close.
  • Each device draw their energy from a reactor concealed inside a black tube.
  • Each device can be disabled by aiming an electromagnetic beam into their reactor tunnels
  • When all devices are disabled, the surveillance device power source can be turned off by a human.
  • When the power has been turned off, the Zombies cannot spy on you, so it is safe to start making your plans.

You must disable all (four?) of the Zombie Surveillance devices before you can start discussing your battle plans.

HINT: Arm the 'B' Team with light sabers, and May the fourth be with you!

Regards from Triple Zero.

  • Your Bee-bot must start from the designated location on the 'Front Line' (your teacher will show you the location of the “START” for your team.
  • Once your Bee-bot attack is underway, you are not allowed to touch or move the car/Bee-bot except or re-program the Bee-bot keypad while on the battlefield.
  • In case of battlefield rule violation, your Bee-bot will be immediately withdrawn from battle and vapourise

Agent Triple Zero has reported:

  • The Zombies have installed an single electricity generator that supplies power for all of the force-field and all zombie control systems.
  • The generator is controlled by four computer signals sent through space.

    • zombie power generator

Regards from agent Triple Zero.


4. TOP SECRET: DESTROY THE ZOMBIE WALL

5. TOP SECRET: FROM THE WEAPON DEVELOPMENT TEAM:

Agent Triple Zero has reported: A foreign government has been developing a weapon that may be able to destroy the Zombie wall. The weapon is not yet powerful enough to destroy the wall.
