Mystery Pixels- National Rubber Ducky Activity Google Sheets™ Distance Learning

Mystery Pixels activities are meant to be fun, interactive, research projects that are self-checking for students in Google Sheets™. Students plug in their answers inside of Google Sheet™ to reveal a National Rubber Ducky Day Mystery Picture. Perfect for distance learning.

In this project, students research the history of the Rubber Ducky. Students are given a set of 12 questions that ask specific questions based on provided information. Students then type their answers into the Google Sheet™. If they type in the correct responses, they will reveal a secret picture!

Here are the steps for using this resource:

1. Begin by printing the questions for students. You may want to have students work either alone or with one other students.
2. Open the Google Sheets file called “Mystery Pix 7” in your Google Drive. You can simply open it once and then close the file.
3. Go to Google Classroom and share ONLY the Google Sheet™ file with students. To do this, create an assignment and then click on the “Google Drive” logo. Pull in the purchased file entitled “Mystery Pix 7.”
4. Click on the drop down to ensure all students will receive their own copy of the file and then assign.
5. Students can now use the questions to find the answers. The answers go in the answer column of the Sheet.
6. If students correctly type in the answer, they will see pixels pop up on the screen. If they answer all of the questions correctly, they will see the full picture.

PLEASE NOTE:

You must be a Google school to use this resource. You must be able to share this with students inside of Google Classroom™ and students must use Google Sheets™. Students do NOT need to have extensive knowledge of Google Sheets™ in order to use this project.

Enjoy!
