This engaging and enjoyable memory game is a great way for middle school students to consolidate learning on friction and air resistance. Also, a really useful tool for test prep - so much fun, students don’t even realise they are learning!
How to Play
Pupils work in teams of three or four. Each team lays out their 42 cards face down in a square and take it in turn to turn over two cards. If the cards are a question and its correct answer, the pupil keeps the pair. If they are not a match they are turned face down and the next pupil gets a turn. This process continues until all cards are matched and the winner is the pupil with the most pairs.
If a team member thinks that the selectors pair is not a correct match, they can challenge.
Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer but the teacher also has a quick-check answer sheet. If the challenge is correct, the challenger keeps the pair.
Included in this Pack.
- 42 question and answer cards
- Teacher’s answer sheet.
- Instruction sheet
Preparation
Use double-sided printing to copy 1 set per group of 4 pupils.
Sheets could be laminated to enable year-on-year use.
- Cut sheets into cards.
Prior Knowledge Required
- Friction and air resistance act in the opposite direction to motion.
- The rougher the surface the more friction it causes.
- Friction produces heat.
- Lubricants, such as oil, reduce friction.
- Friction is useful when it provides grip.
- Friction is not useful when it slows things down and wastes energy.
- Friction is a force and is measured in Newtons (N).
- Air resistance is caused when the front of a moving object collides with air particles.
- Air resistance slows an object down, produces heat and wastes energy.
- Objects with a large surface area produce high air resistance.
- Streamlined shapes have low air resistance.
- A parachute has a large surface area and high air resistance.
- When the weight of a falling object equals the air resistance the body then falls with steady speed.
