Who ever rolled the dice for your team this turn must change places with someone from another team. Who ever is changing places can pick who they swap with.

Which of these is in order from oldest to most recent? A. 4, 3, 2, 5, 1 B. 3, 2, 1, 4, 5 C. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 D. 3, 4, 1, 5, 2

If the locations of earthquakes over the past 10 years were plotted on a world map, which of the following would be observed? A. Earthquakes occur with the same frequency everywhere on Earth. B. Earthquakes generally occur along the edges of tectonic plates. C. Earthquakes most frequently occur near the middle of continents. D. Earthquakes do not seem to occur in any consistent pattern.

MONEY IN THE BANK! Take a paper ball or other type of small ball. Based on the length of the shot you make, your team can get 1, 2 or even 3 bonus points. They will be applied after you get your next question correct! If you make the shot your teacher will place the color of your teams home on this spot to show you have this buff next turn!

One part of the cell theory states that cells come from other cells. Which statement below best explains that this part of cell theory applies to all organisms? A. The cells of all organisms excrete waste. B. The cells of all organisms have cytoplasm. C. The cells of all organisms divide to make more cells. D. The cells of all organisms take in nutrients from their environment.

Teacher: Break class into teams of four. Each student for each team will take a turn rolling the dice. If a team rolls and lands on a question that was already answered they go to the cloest space not landed on yet, forward or backward. Once the students answers the question place a home of their color on that space to indicate which team answered what question throughout the game. Keep track of points at the front of your classroom. This is a whole group game led by the game master... aka the teacher! Who ever rolls the dice for the team on that particular turn is who is responsible for saying the answer aloud to the teacher. If the team gets it wrong then the next team must steal that question. Since one letter or answer selection was eliminated by the previous team, this question becomes a bit eaier for the team who gets to steal. If the team steals the question successfully then move to the next team at that point. If questions are missed this is a que for the game master to review that content, vocabulary in that question and test taking strategy. This game should fill a class period if led by the teacher. This game coveres most of the tested 6th and 7th grade Science benchmarks. Questions came from the East Learning Community book (Orange County Science Test Resource) . If these rules do not work then please adjust accordingly to make the game more engaging and effective for a review.

Your team can now ask the teacher for a very helpful hint on a question. We will place your teams colored house on this space to show you have this buff in your back pocket to use one time when your team chooses.

On your next question, the teacher will tell you one answer you can eliminate. Helps with process of elimination! Teacher will place a house of your teams color on this space to show you can use this buff one time.

When nitrogen is returned to the soil when dead plants decompose, the interaction is between which two spheres? A. Hydrosphere and geosphere B. Cryosphere and geosphere C. Biosphere and Geosphere D. Biosphere and atmosphere

If a spring is attached to two boards with one board at each end of the spring, and the two boards are pulled far apart to stretch the spring, what force will the spring exert in response? A. It will sag between the two boards. B. It will pull the boards toward each other. C. It will hold the boards steady in one place. D. It will spin the boards in opposite directions.

Which process best describes respiration? A. removing wastes from the blood stream. B. breaking down food into smaller nutrients. C. obtaining oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide D. eliminating pathogens from the blood and lymph fluid.

Both Ocala, Florida, and Lexington, Kentucky, are good places to raise racehorses, in part because of the limestone near the surface in both places. Calcium from the limestone helps make a horse's leg bones stronger and better able to withstand the pounding stress of running. Knowing that the Bluegrass Region around Lexington, KY also sits on top of limestone, what other land features are also likely to be found there? A. Sand dunes, lakes, and springs B. Prairies, swamps, and marshes C. Sinkholes, caves, and aquifers D. Shallow rivers, flat land, and quartz sand

Your team will get 1 bonus point when you get your next question correct! Your teacher will place a home of your teams color on this spot to show you have this buff to use one time.

Time for a refuel (candy) for your team if you get your next question correct! If you get it wrong you will not get candy. Your teacher will place a house of your teams color on this space to show you have this buff one time.

On your next question, the teacher will tell you one answer you can eliminate. Helps with process of elimination! Teacher will place a house of your teams color on this space to show you can use this buff one time.

A timeline of some models of atoms throughout the history is shown below. Those models have contributed to the formation of the atomic theory. Which of the following statements best summarizes the formation of atomic theory? A. The discovery of new evidence resulted in changes to the atomic theory. B. Advancements in atomic models proved the atomic theory was accurate. C. The atomic theory was modified with the discovery of every new element. D. Changes in the atomic models showed that the atomic theory was based on opinions.
