Periodic: A Game Of The Elements - Adapted For Use In The High School Classroom
Summary:
We created and tested a variation of Periodic that can be used during a 45 minute class to teach periodic trends and the law of conservation of energy.
Description:
Players must strategically navigate the periodic table game board to "research" elements and complete Goal Cards. There is a fixed number of Energy Tokens available to all players, so deciding when to spend Energy Tokens and when to gain Energy Tokens is an important part of moving across the board. The game ends when one stack of Goal Cards is depleted.
