Students love playing SCOOT - especially because they get to move around the room while reviewing important science concepts. Each of the 30 task cards includes a statement about a human, animal or plant characteristic and asks students to classify the trait as inherited or environmental. Use this game as a pre- or post- assessment of student understanding. It can be used to review inherited and environmental traits before a unit test or end of year standardized tests.
