THERMO SCI-DAMA

Target Learners: Fourth Year Students

Science Concept: Thermodynamics (Heat)

Playing Thermo Sci-Dama

(Refer to the General Rules in Playing SciDama below)

1. The object of the game is to have the lowest possible score to be able to win.
2. When you capture a piece, the symbol on the spot where you landed will be used to
perform the operation.
(Example: You have 37 g. You captured 19 g and you landed on a spot with a + sign. Now
you must add 37 g with 19 g. Your piece number is the one who is always first in your Follow
calculations. Example again: When your piece is 50 C and you captured a piece which has
69 C and you landed on a spot with a minus sign, you will compute 50 C - 69 C which is
NS (No Score) since the answer is negative.)

3. The allotted time for playing the game is 20 minutes ONLY. Each player is given 1 ► 2019 (4)
minute to make a move. When the time is over, the remaining pieces will be tallied and
► 2018 (3)
diminished from the player who has the leftover piece/s.
4. The units used in the game are: g(grams), C(degree Celsius) and g.C (grams degrees ► 2017 (6)
Celsius).
► 2016 (11)

Scoring: ► 2015 (9)

Here are examples: ► 2014 (7)

When two different units have met that must be either added, subtracted or divided, you ► 2013 (21)
have no score. (An exception is g x C. When you encounter this you must multiply the ► 2012 (11)
value of your piece to your enemies' piece that you captured. Example: Your piece is 37 C
▼ 2011 (24)
and you captured a piece which is 10 g (which you would never do, given the
opportunity.) Then you must multiply 37 C and 10 g. 37 C x 10 g, that is, 370 g.C) ► December (2)

► November (1)
5. When you and your opponent finish playing, make a table with three
► October (2)
columns.(You can do this before the start of the game.) On the first column,
▼ September (6)
write g(the symbol for gram). On the second one, write C(degree Celsius) and
THERMO
on the third, g.C(grams degree Celsius.) Everytime you capture a piece, record SciDama
the value computed.Then place the computed values in the appropriate THI SciDama
columns. Afterwards, add the total of the g and C columns and add their sum. DAMA Sci-
Then, when you finish computing, multiply the total value with the g.C Notation

column(if you placed a value in this column. Otherwise, that is the total score. ELECTRO

ARRANGEMENT OF DAMA CHIPS FOR THERMO SCI-DAMA

General Rules in Playing SciDama

Basically the rules in playing the Filipino checkerboard game called
‘dama’ will be used with some modifications in integrating mathematics and
science as follows:

1. Set the starting positions of the chips

2. After the startting position of the chips have been set, the first player is
determined by drawing lots.

3. A chip is allowed to moved diagonally forward only to an adjoining vacant

square.

4. A chip has to take the opponent’s chip diagonally forward or backward thus
“pass” is not allowed. Mathematical operations (x,÷,+,-) will be used depending
on the vacant square’s operation symbol where the “taker” chip lands by
jumping over the “taken” chip (the latter chip has to be removed from the board
after performing the indicated mathematical operation and recording same in
the score sheet).

5. In taking more than one chip, the “taker” chip is always the addend, minuend,
multiplicand, or dividend as the case may be.
6. In taking a chip or more than one chip,the dama rules on ‘dama’,’mayor
dalawa or mayor tatlo’,’mayor tatlo over dalawa’,and ‘mayor dalawa or
 tatlo’,over ‘dama’ prevail.

7. A chip is declared ‘dama’ upon reaching terminally on the following

designated squares:

For Red chips: (0,7) (2,7) (4,7) (6,7)

For Blue chips: (1,0) (3,0) (5,0) (7,0)

8. A ‘dama’ chip is allowed to take a chip or more than one chip,or move to any
unoccupied square along its diagonal path.Moreover, a dama’s score is doubled
in taking a chip or chips,and quadrapled if it takes the opponent’s dama
chip.Similarly, an ordinary chip’s score is doubled if it takes a dama chip.

9. A ‘move’ (e.g. 2→ (6,3) is good only at the most for one minute including its
corresponding entries in the score sheet; while the game’s duration is twenty
(20) minutes.

10. The game ends when any of the following situations occur:
· If no show of one player is declared after ten minutes.

· Repetitive moves of any or both players

· A player resigns

· A player’s chip is cornered

· A player has no more chip to move

· The 20 minute game duration ended

In case of incorrect entries in the score sheet, a player has to call the attention of the competition
facilitator by raising one’s hand, that is, after stopping the time. As determined by the said
arbiter/facilitator, the appropriate corrections will be done by the erring player in as much as the
formers decision is final and unappeasable.

pwede mo bang ibibgay ang mga secret moves para hindi na mgamit ng iba dahil sa

i have a question on you...
I already take a test to find holes for the last player to win the game for thermo sci
dama....
pero nalaman ko at ng iba kong kasama na walang lusot pag huling tira ka...
ibig sabihin kung huli kang titira wala ka nang pag asang manalo ..unless magkamali
ang kalaban mo sa pag tira o pag kain..kaso nga lang wala pa akong nakikitang ganung
kalaban...so that means the first mover will win the game at the first sight....
Kung sa tingin mo di ito totoo ..sabihin mo sakin kung pano makakalusot kasi lahat ng
pwedeng paraan sinubukan ko na....sabihin mo sakin kung merong butas para ako
manalo...by the way email me on yahoomail or facebook if you have answer on
this...this is my email address cyril.calalo@yahoo.com
I will wait for you!!!
mas ayos sana kung sa Facebook mo ko i-me mesage..thanks

 hindi po ako naniniwala na lahat ng first mover ay malaki na nag chance na
manalo..natingnan ko na po yang sinabi nyo.pero kailangan nyo lang po na
laliman ang pag iisip sa paglalaro..its a puzzle game

diba sci dama is a game of strategies.... let's say na alam na alam mo at ng kalaban mo
ang laro then ikaw ang 1st mover syempre sa tingin mo panalo kana?.. sabihin na natin
na mas malaki ang chance ng 1st mover para manalo kasi under time pressure sya..
kaya sa loob ng 20 min. no choice ka at ang kalaban mo kundi mag pa kaen at
magpakaen.. pero try mo gumawa ng moves na di inaasahan ng kalban mo.. example
mag papakaen kana sana pero di mo gnwa.. sa mga ganung instances mababaliktad
ang laro.. mahirap kasi syang iexplain ahaha :))) pero I THINK na di lagi ung 1st mover
ung panalo

sa sci-dama...just like chess, checkers and d like...its a game for space and
control of the center of the board...

Unknown January 11, 2016 at 4:29 PM

dapat nga random and starting position ng chips...4 times na ako national winner
nito...madali lng mamemorize ang moves kasi konte lng ang move variations. kasi nga
predetermined ang starting position tpos 20 min lng ang game..

Afterwards, add the total of the g and C columns and add their sum.

Add ba talaga o multiply?
