Description

This resource outlines a vocabulary challenge designed for students to reinforce their understanding of key scientific concepts through a Taboo-style game. The objective is for students to describe scientific terms while avoiding specific prohibited words, enhancing their communication skills and creative thinking. The game consists of clear rules for players—Clue Givers and Guessers—and includes strategies for effective clue-giving. Additional components such as scoring, team setup, and scoring structures are defined, along with examples of target words and taboo words from various scientific fields like Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. The document also incorporates reflection activities and suggests extension tasks for deeper learning.
