Are you looking for a new, fun and educational Science Center game? Well, recently I shared my Earth Science Challenge Facts and Game and I am excited to share it’s sister, Life Science Challenge Facts and Game.
As I mentioned last time, my school has a high regard for science and to ensure that each grade
level masters key Power Standards we give trimester Science Fact Quizzes
that I have modified and bundled together as a great center game.

This is the award that is given to students who score proficient on the final Earth Science Challenge test.
I give the Life Science Challenge 2nd trimester, after the Earth Science one and before the physical science test. With
all 3 of these games/facts mastered, students have a better grasp on
key science concepts from various grade levels and are better prepared
to learn about the subjects in depth as well as do well on commonly
asked science questions on high stakes testing. Our schools science
scores are one of the best in the district and I know that it is because
of our stellar teachers as well as implementing these science
challenges from Kinder to 5th grade. I will be posting the final set in this series sometime soon. This is a
great activity to incorporate into your center time and it is not only
easy to introduce but so fun for your students!
