A great way for middle school students to consolidate learning on friction and air resistance with this dominoes game which has questions and statements instead of numbers. A really useful tool for test prep - so much fun, students don’t even realise they are learning!

Prior Knowledge
• Friction slows objects down and produces heat.
• Friction opposes motion.
• Friction wastes energy.
• Friction produces grip.
• Lubricants reduce friction.
• Oil is a lubricant.
• Air resistance is a type of friction.
• Air resistance is caused by the front of a moving object colliding with air particles.
• An object with low air resistance has a streamlined shape

What You Get
• 80 dominos
• Animated PowerPoint explaining the rules and how to play.

Rules of the Game
• Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards.
• The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction.
• Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched.
• If a player thinks a match is wrong they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached.
• If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand.
