Unit+6+2d

The 7th grade summative questions for this unit focus on energy transformations. However, circuits are very important for the students to understand as background knowledge for 8th grade. My students performed very well on this unit assessment, primarily because they LOVED the review board game. I've included the parts of the review game at the bottom of this document. You can also visit the "Board Games" page on this wiki for more information.

//**__Board Game__**// The documents below I used to create an electricity review board game. The students loved the board game. You will need to print out the game board and cards onto cardstock and draw in diagrams for some of the questions (although your high students can do that as well).
