Individual Work Directions
• 4 science vocabulary terms will be shown at the top
of the screen.
• One-at-a-time, 4 clues about one of the terms will
be shown on the screen. You are to determine the
term that all the clues refer to.
• Record your work in your science notebook or on a
google doc.
• Some terms may have similar meanings, so be
careful not to answer too soon.

C. predation
B. parasitism
D. symbiosis

Team Directions
• 4 science vocabulary terms will be shown at the top
of the screen.
• One-at-a-time, 4 clues about one of the terms will
be shown on the screen. You are to determine the
term that all the clues refer to.
• If you select a correct answer, your team will earn
points 
• The sooner you determine the correct answer, the
more points your team will earn. 
• If you select an incorrect answer, it will cost your
team points  Once an answer is submitted, it may
not be changed. 
• Some terms may have similar meanings, so be
careful not to answer too soon.

Shhhhh
• Discussions about the answers should be done
quietly between team members; you don’t
want the other groups to earn points because
they overheard your great ideas.
• Come to consensus (agreement) as a team
before you submit an answer. Answers may
not be changed once submitted.
