The What If...? Box is a brilliant tool for use in any lesson across the curriculum. It contains 168 questions, all of which begin with 'What if...' Students can select questions at random by clicking on the colored dots which are flying out of the What If...? Box. The resource is particularly good for developing critical and creative thinking.

I love the design, but how to use it? please share ideas on how to organize the classroom for this activity.
Inform the class that they all have to share their expertise on various subjects. Call the first student, and that student clicks on a ball (I have the PowerPoint projected on the wall). A random topic comes up, and he/she has to expound on the answer for a full minute. A brief round of applause, then the next assigned student does it. In case of a topic already done, he/she clicks on another ball. Builds confidence, public speaking, and is fun.
I love the idea of this but how do you activate the animated portion of the presentation? I can get the presentation but can not get it to go to the slides when you click on a dot. Thanks for your help!
So simple, yet so unique. I can't wait to share it with the kids.
I love this, and is adaptable depending upon your students. Thanks for sharing.
love the design! Can't wait to try it in class.
seems good but like dmhartin I can't activate the dots . Thanks for your feed back
Great idea. Would it be possible to get the click on dot box to work?
This is wonderful. I will probably extend this by using the what ifs to begin structured classroom debates. Thank you!
Great job on creating a unit which complements Common Core standards, and is way too much fun! Love it!
