DIDACTIC UNIT: THE WORLD OF PLANTS
SUBJECT: SCIENCE

We are going to use the gamification in this unit in order to motivate our pupils to
develop their learning engagement. Firstly, we will do a "Kahoot activity" in relation
with our topic about plants, and then we will carry out a search game, where our
student will have to find different plants in an enclosed area, and take a photo with a
tablet of each "Qr code", to find the right answer. We will divide our classroom in two
teams, and the winner will be the team that find firstly all the answers to the questions
proposed.
