You & your partner’s job is to create a math & science game that can be played in the classroom using the knowledge you have gained this year. You may choose a general science theme or a specific unit of study: Safety, Processes of Science
Inquiry, The Scientific Method, Matter, Electricity and Magnetism, Rocks and
Minerals, Cycles, Constructive and Destructive forces, Ecosystems (Plants and
Animals), Energy, etc., but you must remember that you will be creating Math problems that go along with the topic. You will not only create the physical board game, but also the questions. Each person will create 20 questions (10 math & 10 science for a total of 40 questions per game).
* Playability, clearly written directions
* Creativity of your title and format

Be creative. Here are a few suggestions to help you get started, but you are not limited to these suggestions:
 A creative game board with congruent spaces is helpful so that it is neat and easy to move game pieces.
 Use of spinners or dice makes it easy to move around the game board.
 Game cards can have fill in the blank or multiple-choice questions, or vocabulary terms with pictures.
 Unique player markers: plastic animals, rocks of varied colors or shapes, magnets, student created pieces, etc.
 Catchy title and theme used throughout.
Suggested Supplies:
Notecards for questions (or other type of card)
Pizza box, shoe box, etc. for game board storage
Dice or spinner
Game pieces
Construction paper, markers, glue for board decorations
