🎮 How to Use This Game in the Classroom
1. Prepare the Devices: Make sure students have access to laptops, or desktops. Open the game in browser tabs or project it on a screen for group play.
2. Introduce the Topic: Start with a short lesson on acids, bases, and salts. Explain terms like pH scale, H+ ions, OH− ions, and neutralization.
3. Play the Game: Students control a character (a cute dog!) that must "run into" the correct answer to each question. For example: “Which ion is responsible for acidity?” → they must choose H+.
4. Use It for Formative Assessment: Watch students as they play. Take note of where they struggle to help guide follow-up discussion or revision.
5. Pause & Discuss: After a few questions or when most players lose a life, pause and ask students to explain the correct answer or discuss their choices in pairs.
6. Group Challenge: Divide the class into small teams. Let one player from each team take turns playing and tally team scores. Use this for peer learning and healthy competition.
7. Reflect: End with a quick quiz or reflection activity. Ask students to write what they learned about acids, bases, and salts during the game session.
