Storyline

The UCE needs the crew's help to retrieve "borrowed" prototypes from a swarm of GAL-Delilah's.

RALF has volunteered to sneak into a remote facility to retrieve the UCE's prototypes. The crew will need to design a disguise for RALF that helps him pass for a GAL-Delilah. Making it into the facility is just the beginning, though. Students will need to bring their absolute best critical thinking skills to come out on top.

This Mission includes our newest Beta features that we are currently researching and developing. Join in on the fun and help us bring you the best of the best by running this Mission with your students and submitting any and all feedback afterwards. Thanks! - Mission.io R&D team

Science and Engineering Practices

Developing and Using Models

  • Develop a diagram or simple physical prototype to convey a proposed object, tool, or process.

Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions

  • Use evidence (e.g., measurements, observations, patterns) to construct or support an explanation or design a solution to a problem.

  • Identify the evidence that supports particular points in an explanation.

  • Generate and compare multiple solutions to a problem based on how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the design solution.

Engaging in Argument from Evidence

  • Respectfuly provide and receive critiques from peers about a proposed procedure, explanation, or model by citing relevant evidence and posing specific questions.

  • Construct and/or support an argument with evidence, data, and/or a model.
