Now that you have played the Particle Family game, it is your turn to make a game.
Research Assignment: Create your own particle family game.
- Create a list of characteristics for members of your family.
- Create 12 objects, 4 that are members of your family, 4 that are not members of your family and 4 "challenge" objects which will need to be identified as members or non-members of the family by a game player. While you can draw with a pencil or pen, your game will be more interesting if you use colored pencils, crayons or magic markers. If someone on your team is familiar with computer software such as MS Draw or Adobe Illustrator, you may wish to make electronic drawings.
- Trade games with another team and play their game.
You may submit your game for possible inclusion in the Fermilabyrinth Particle Families game. In order to do this, you must make a total of 24 objects: 12 family members and 12 family non-members. Send an e-mail to spasero@fnal.gov for more details.
