Games to Learn Chemical Symbols

At the beginning of our second topic of term 3 I identified 5 student's who consistently achieved above the rest of the student's in the classm I decided to out them together in a group and give them slightly different work.

There first task was to create a game that would helo others to learn the chemical symbols for the elements on the periodic table.  I gave them suggestions such as snap and memory.  Their designs blew me away.

The boys designed a game of monopoly and the girls created a game based a around snakes and ladders with some great question cards. The class have trialed the games. The next step is to write up instructions and get each other to critique the games.
