Module 6: The Sun

Imagine that an entertainment company has hired you to develop the concept for a mobile or computer-based game application (or "app") to help students learn about the Sun. The company might develop the app and release it to the general public if your concept is accepted. In order to present your concept to the company, you will need to develop a proposal that outlines the basic purpose of the game, how it works, the basic design, mock-ups, and what someone playing it would learn.

Use the Sun App Design Template to create your application proposal. Make sure to read through and complete each section of the template. You should start by brainstorming the concept, using the following questions as guides:

• What is the structure of the Sun?
• How does the Sun produce energy, light, and heat?
• What different forms does solar activity take?
• How does solar activity impact life on Earth?

For examples of educational apps that have already been developed, visit the Web-Based and Mobile Applications link available in the Content area of your course.

Before you begin, access the Sun App Design Checklist to make sure that you include all of the items required for full credit. You may need to use resources outside of this course to complete this assignment. If so, please submit a Works Cited document. If you need assistance, visit the Developmental Module for information on citing any resources that you used.

Once you have completed your mobile application design, please submit your work to the dropbox.
