Iggy Explains
Students will paraphrase what Iggy says. Students will compare memories.
"Six months ago wide spread transmission of COVID from humans to animals began. The first recorded transmission was at the primate section of the Winnipeg zoo. This new variant is far more virulent. The zoo keeper who contracted the disease developed a cough and rash and within 48 hours he was intubated. He began to experience gran mal seizures before a series of severe heart attacks. The World Health Organization has monitored the spread. It is now in 82 countries, impacting on all mammals. They predict a human extinction event within the next 30 years."

IGGY SPEAKS
"This is Iggy. Don't panic. You cannot pick the locks but you can smash the door down. The door will require 500 Newtons of force. Force is calculated using mass and acceleration using the formula f=ma. You can probably accelerate an object at 15m/s squared. You have to determine the mass of the object needed to generate enough force to open the door."

You are going to deliver the poison through Rasputin's supper. You have to decide to poison a dessert or a main course item. Rasputin likes cakes and simple main courses like cod fish soup.

Alternate Futures
You cured small pox and changed the historical timeline. 90% of Indigenous people were killed by diseases brought by settlers. Without small pox the First Peoples of North America resisted colonization and now rule the world.

Alternate Destinies
You changed history. Without small pox, Indigenous people dominated most of the world. The Russian Revolution occurred because Rasputin survived the attack on his life. As a result the United Indigenous Peoples of the World went to war with the Soviet Union. The resulting war involved nuclear weapons.
