Differentiation

This game would be a good fill-in activity in science classes discussing greenhouse gasses and their effects, or in language arts classes working on their non-fiction vocabulary acquisition.
This game would be a fun "do now" activity for students at the start of a class to warm them up for learning about greenhouse gases or climate change.
For whole-class engagement, try playing this game in a tournament setting.
