Description
Looking to engage your fifth-grade science students in a fun vocabulary review of living and nonliving things in an ecosystem? This low-prep science game encourages students to think on their feet and form deeper connections to 48 life science vocabulary words associated with ecosystems, food chains and webs, adaptations, traits, and life cycles. This game is so entertaining even your most reluctant students will excitedly jump in and play!
How it works: Similar to a popular family game, a player draws a game card and describes the “mystery” science vocabulary word at the top to his/her team without saying five “forbidden” words.
The five “forbidden” words are terms that fifth-grade science teachers most often use when introducing life science vocabulary to their students. Not allowing students to use the words they usually hear in class forces students to think differently about the academic vocabulary and look for related words, thus forming deeper brain connections.
Isn’t that what vocabulary practice should promote, a deeper, not superficial understanding? Fifth-grade STAAR question writers sure expect students to apply science vocabulary in many different contexts!
