Abstract

Reviewing material using a game format is often a different and interesting way to proceed. This article describes use of a concentration game in a nonmajors environmental chemistry class. In the Concentration game format, students must uncover matching pieces to score extra credit points. A match consists of a question and its corresponding answer. All question–answer pairs are generated from material previously covered in the class. The game causes students to process class material as they must determine whether the answer they uncover belongs with the question also displayed.
