Instructions: Everyone Plays Version
• No “life lines” used in this version• Play with a partner• Record answers on paper before shown
correct answers • Partners check answers• If question is missed you are out• Students who answer all 15 questions
correctly win
Instructions: Traditional Version
• One student will be chosen to play game based on correctly ordering these terms by size from smallest to largest:
1. Blood Cell 6. Heart2. Mitochondrion 7. Ribosome3. Nucleus 8. Nerve cell4. Atom 9. Bacteria cell5. Nucleotide 10. Electron
Instructions: Traditional
• Selected student will answer the questions that get progressively harder
• 3 lifelines, each can be used only once– Phone a friend (ask one student in class)– Ask audience (ask whole class)– 50:50 (teacher reduces options)
• If student misses question they are out - start over with selecting another student
