Bingo
Science students memorize large numbers of new terms, many of which are abstract and difficult to understand. To assess student understanding, teachers often ask students to define terms. Unfortunately, students may be able to memorize definitions and repeat them on tests or quizzes, but have no real understanding of their meaning of significance. To ensure that students truly understand definitions, we encourage teachers to employ Science Bingo or similar activity that assesses their understanding rather than mere memorization. Unlike the popular Bingo game, Science Bingo is based upon skill and understanding rather than chance.
Activity 13.3.1 – Science Bingo (Sourcebook for Teaching Science)
Vocabulary list: The teacher develops a list of 25 or more words for the game (figure 13.4).
Setup: Students construct a five by five grid on a sheet of paper and fill the grid with terms from the list as shown in figure 13.4. Each term may appear only once.
Definitions: The teacher reads definitions and their corresponding numbers. For example, if the first term to be identified is “cellulose”, the teacher should say, “Number One: The main component of cell walls.”
Identifying terms: When students hear a definition and associate it with a term on their grid, they put the clue number in the appropriate cell.
Winning: Students say “Bingo!” when they have identified 5 terms in a row, column, or diagonal. The teacher must look at the student's card to ensure that the numbers associated with the terms match the numbers of the definitions read. Continue reading terms until at least 5 students have achieved Bingo.
