Objective
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to apply strategy and critical thinking skills to defend against the invading toilets in a tower defense game based on Skibidi Toilet.
Materials and Prep
- Device with access to the tower defense game
- Paper and pencil for sketching out defense strategies
- Basic understanding of addition and subtraction
Activities
- Design Your Defense: Sketch out a map of your game level and plan where to place different types of defenses to stop the invading toilets.
- Math Attack: Calculate the total cost of your defenses and make sure you have enough resources to build them.
- Science Experiment: Explore the concept of gravity by testing how different types of defenses affect the falling toilets.
- Social Studies Showdown: Research the history of toilets and sanitation to understand why the toilets are invading in the game.
Talking Points
- Understanding the Objective: "In this game, we need to use our brains to stop the toilets from taking over. Let's strategize and plan our defenses."
- Cost Calculation: "We must make sure we have enough money to build our defenses. Let's add up the costs and see if we can afford them."
- Gravity Experiment: "Gravity is what pulls things down to the ground. Let's test how gravity affects the falling toilets when we place different defenses."
- Social Studies Connection: "Toilets have an interesting history. Let's learn about how toilets have changed over time and why they might be invading in the game."
