This colorful card game is aligned with the Next Generation Life Science standards and the Virginia SOLs.

The graphics on each card will help ESL and struggling readers. These card games provide an excellent anchor activity for students who finish early or need a challenge and 2-5 minute energy burst games are based on research based strategies to improve student learning. These games can be used to differentiate instruction or provide tiering (cards can also be used as a sort rather than a game for struggling students.)

Games are motivating and engage students in higher level strategy thinking and promote interaction with others while remaining focused on topic.
