This school year will be my 18th year teaching middle grades science. I have taught 6th, 7th, 8th, and the high school physical science classes. I also enjoy teaching professional development seminars to my peers.
Shark! Vocabulary Card Game This game is a vocabulary review game based on the rules of the game “Old Maid.” Students should already be familiar with the vocabulary words before playing the game. The activity is excellent for a review or formative assessment. There are 51 total cards per set. There are 50 vocabulary cards and 1 shark card. Pairs are made by matching up word and definition. The game game be played with 2 or more players. Great way to add some excitement to vocabulary development.
