One can play the game without knowing/learning about the unit of studyElectricity ComponentX 3Total of 4 circuits: 2 parallel circuits, 2 series circuits2 different energy transformationsTotal of 3 circuits: 1 or 2 parallel circuits, 1 or 2 series circuits2 different energy transformationsTotal of 2 circuits: 1 or 2 parallel circuits, 1 or 2 series circuits2 different energy transformationsTotal of 1 circuit: 1 parallel circuit or 1 series circuit1 energy transformation4348480145415Total Score:__________/4000Total Score:__________/40PurposeThe purpose of this project is to help young students review science content. You and your team will choose a science standard from another grade. Assignment:You are a board game manufacturer, and you have been assigned the task of creating a board game that will help students review science content in a fun and interesting way!Requirements:Choose a science standard from the grade level the teacher assigns you.
