The questions throughout the game are based on a knowledge of the characteristics of organisms, with a range of questions. Students should have some knowledge of the points listed below (or access to their notes/textbook for research purposes. Specification points covered: Characteristics of living organisms Binomial naming system How organisms are classified Use of dichotomous keys Icons on each page allow students to move through the story, or provide a clue. If students are stuck, they should try touching objects on the page as these can also hold clues. I have provided the answers to the password questions. The multiple-choice questions allow students to pass to the next stage. The walkthrough is shown in the video link (without the interactive sections) so you can see the types of questions and activities.

I print these and give them to each student so they can follow the course but also monitor their performance in each exam.
