Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Matches four topics: instruments to what they measure, planets to their features, kinds of change to examples, and organs to systems. The planets round matches indicator ว 3.1 ป.4/3 (modelling the solar system); the others link to ว 2.1 ป.4/4 (measuring mass and volume) and ว 2.1 ป.5/3 (chemical change), while question 4 on organs is health-education content.

What's in the worksheet

4 questions, a matching game with four pairs each - Match a measuring cylinder to volume of liquid and a balance to mass - Match Jupiter to the largest in the solar system and Mercury to closest to the Sun - Match sublimation to a mothball disappearing and burning to wood burning to ash - Match brain to the nervous system and bones to the skeletal system

How to use it in class

A cross-unit end-of-year review, about 6-8 minutes, since it combines four topics. Play in teams and rotate the tapper. After question 1, hold up the real instruments from the science room one by one. Explain ระเหิด (sublimation) before question 3, as many children will not know it. Question 4 is not in the set's title, so you may want to warn children. You can link it to a class and record it in the gradebook.

Common sticking points

- Question 3: matching sublimation to sugar dissolving because both seem to disappear. Separate them: the sugar is still in the water, the mothball turns straight to vapour. - Question 2: swapping Saturn and Jupiter because Saturn's rings make it look big. Show a planet size comparison. - Question 1: matching the balance to volume, confusing mass and volume. Compare a balloon and a stone of the same size.
