Capitalize on the latest Star Trek movie, which many of your students have probably seen. Show this series of slides from MSNBC that cover 10 sci-fi wonders. Are they Fact or Fiction?
Click here for the slide show.
Have your students take out a piece of paper and fold in thirds, hot dog-bun style. List the 10 Innovations down the left column, skipping a line each time. Put Fact and Fiction at the top of the other two columns. Then show the slide show. They can either check the correct column for a basic required 10 points, or add words in the correct column to show why that innovation is a reality or not. Make that worth 15-20 points.
Ten Innovations:
- Teleportation
- Tricorder
- Deflector Shield
- PHaSER
- Holodeck
- Tractor Beam
- Communicator
- Universal Translator
- Cloaking Device
- Warp Drive
