Tips for STEM classroom games
- • Filter this list to match your current unit — don't use words students haven't studied yet.
- • Allow 90 seconds per draw for complex concepts like "photosynthesis" or "plate tectonics."
- • After each round, have the artist explain their drawing strategy — it reinforces conceptual understanding.
- • Works great as a 10-minute warm-up before a test or the last 15 minutes of class.
