Version 1
Students play this game in a group of two.
Team 1 will have a “clicker” and a "timer”. The clicker uses the mouse to select a metal and an acid from the respective drop down buttons. The “timer” starts timing the responses of the “card-writer” from the opponent group. The timing could be 5 seconds, 10 seconds or as agreed by the class.
Team 2 will be the responding team. Team 2 will have a “card writer”, who writes the team’s answer to the game card and raises it up before the game time elapses.
Team members can/should collaborate and have shared responsibilities.
Scoring:
The score recorder gives a point (or two as agreed) to asking team (in this case team 1) and a point (or two as agreed) to the responding team (in this case team 2). The asking team gets the point(s) as time they place, while the responding team gets zero for every wrong response.
