Cases to Crack

Misinformation is always dangerous, whether we’re dealing with rumors or traveling to alien planets. In Cases to Crack, you can choose from two interactive games where students can use their information literacy skills to solve a mystery. It’s time to get cracking!

The Case of the Vase

Ideal for younger students, The Case of the Vase helps students understand common misinformation tactics in the context of a classroom conundrum: who is responsible for the shattered vase?

Sour Flower Power

Older students might enjoy Sour Flower Power, where they travel to an alien planet and use their information literacy skills to determine if an herbal remedy can cure a terrible disease.

Teacher TipThese activities can be played with physical cards or, if each student has a device, use as a QR code quest!
