Energy Card Game

• In this engaging game with printable cards, students learn about the Sun as the ultimate source of energy for most processes and living things on Earth. 
• While playing the game, students create connections that show energy converting from one form to another to better comprehend the connections between fuel sources.

• This game allows students to move around, either in the classroom or outside.
• There are four possible learning outcomes and teachers can decide which outcome is best for their students.
• The playing cards are large and colorful.

• Some of the vocabulary is rigorous, so teachers may wish to preface the activity with a vocabulary lesson.
• A printer is required to print the playing cards. The cards have color photos so a color printer will be best, but not necessary.

• There is a printable narrative containing background information, so teachers may wish to have a read-aloud lesson before the game begins.
• There is a link to a YouTube video showing how the game is played, so the video will be a helpful precursor to the actual activity, although the video is titled "Eclipse Day Fun."
  
• Teachers can choose to use the cards in various ways, especially for younger students who do not yet have proficient reading skills.
