Harry Potter and More...
Today 6D shared a few more classification games. Laurence and Cameron developed a fun board game in which teams of students answered science questions to earn the classification of the sunflower and the channel catfish. Caroline, Charlotte and Lauryn developed an interactive game about branching diagrams, in which teams of students had to search for similar characteristics among animals. Finally, Kirsten, David and Maria created a game in which students had to classify Harry Potter creatures using a dichotomous key.
