3. • How to play…
– Don’t play like Jeo_ _ _ _ y.
– Class should be divided into several small groups.
– Groups should use science journal (red slide
notes), homework, and other available materials to
assist you.
– Groups can communicate quietly with each other
but no sharing answers between groups.
• Practice quietly communicating right now?
• Practice Communication Question:
• Your group gets to order one pizza and you can have
two toppings. What does your group want?
4. Questions 1-20 = 5pts Each
Final Category (Bonus) = 1pt Each
Final Questions = 5 pt wager
If you wager 5 on the last question and get it wrong you lose
5 pts. Wager 5 and get it right you get 5 pts.
Find the Owl =
Secretly write “Owl” in the correct box
worth 1pt.
“I’ll be about
this big.”
