The game that I am playing is Madden 10. Madden 10 is a football game that is played on the X-box360. I think Madden10 can be educational because its not violent and it uses scientifiic techniques. It uses the push and pull technique when you throw the ball. The stratgie you use to win is that you have to get into the end-zone more than the other team.

When Jennifer stirred the sugar, salt, and soil, it mad it dissolve faster.

Week 4_prompt 1

The Design Squad challenge was to design a drag racing car. The team with the fastest car wins. It might sound easy but the problem was they had to change a wagon or a bike into a the fastest race car would win the challenge. The strategies they use was that both teams brainstormed. The red team strategie is called direct drive. The problem with that is that the car can't go faster than the drill's top speed. The blue team uses the C.V.T technique.To me it seems like everyone is working well together. they are all listening to each other.
If I had the first problem, I jot down ideas. I would jot down ideas because the first problem they had was turning a wagon or a tricycle into a drag racing car.I learned that you can make wagons and bikes faster.
