A simple and fun competitive snap game using scientific terminology matched with pictures.
PPT can be presented to the entire class for a whole class session, or can be printed and cut for team games - there will always be a snap between 2 cards but the students need to find and identify the correct scientific key word. The students who calls out the key word first wins the round.
Key words included are:
Units, DNA, Bunsen burner, Tripod, Beaker, Gauze, Heat mat, Measuring cylinder, Safety glasses, Repeatability, Dissolving, Melt, Solidify, Evaporate, forceps, solid, Liquid, gas, reaction, reproductive system, microscope, pH, Periodic table, pipette, carbohydrate, fat, protein, test tube, lab coat, kinetic energy, sound energy, gravitational potential energy, atom, thermometer, cell, digestive, system, Electrical energy, circulatory system, electron, respiratory system, nervous system, litmus paper, skeleton, photosynthesis, light energy.
Excellent as a settling activity or starter / interim activity.
