Forces - Pressure Dominoes Game for KS3

A great way for middle school students to consolidate learning on pressure with this dominoes game which has questions and statements instead of numbers. A really useful tool for test prep - so much fun, students don’t even realise they are learning!

Prior Knowledge

• Use and rearrange the formula Pressure = Force/Area
• A small force exerted over a small area can exert a large pressure and can apply this to everyday situations.
• Units for pressure are N/m2 or Pascals(Pa)
• 1N/m2 = 1 Pa
• Pressure exerted in a liquid provides upthrust and the relationship between floating and sinking.
• Cause of atmospheric pressure and why it varies with altitude.

What You Get

• 80 dominos
• Animated PowerPoint explaining the rules and how to play.

Rules of the Game

• Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards.
• The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction.
• Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched.
• If a player thinks a match is wrong they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached.
• If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand.
