CHEMISTRY CALL
Did you know that the air in the room you’re in probably weighs more than you do? That you and a wooden piece of furniture essentially consist of the same three atoms? Or that pure gold is soft?
Discover what the world around you is made of and how fun chemistry can be! The game works just as well for twelve-year-olds as it does for adults, regardless of prior knowledge.
HOW TO PLAY CHEMISTRY CALL?
PREPARATIONS
- The game is played individually or in teams, maximum two teams.
- Place three cards in a row, face-up (darker side) in front of each team.
- Remaining cards in a pile next to them.
- Two cards are placed side by side, face down, in the middle of the table to start the “weight row”. Players place their cards on this row from the lowest to the highest weight.
PLAY
One team starts by guessing where one of their cards should be placed on the weight row. Flip the card to reveal the weight in kilograms.
- Correct? The card stays on the weight row. The turn goes to the next team.
- Incorrect? The card is set aside. The team draws a new card. The turn goes to the next team.
The team that first gets rid of all their cards wins!
