Program Overview
|
|
|
"The NOVA Quiz" is divided into three distinct games. Participants
are asked to recall specific facts, place various items into
categories, and predict the outcomes of several experiments. Each of
these games can be used in the classroom to enhance thinking
skills.
A quiz-show format can be easily adapted for use in the classroom.
Such a format can be used to test students' understanding of a
particular unit, not just their ability to memorize facts. Games can
be used in the classroom to stimulate participation, build
confidence, and make learning fun. Some possible applications of a
quiz-show format are pretesting a class on their existing knowledge,
reinforcing key concepts from a particular unit, and evaluating
students' mastery of skills and information. The activities
suggested here provide some examples of classroom adaptations of
"The NOVA Quiz." These ideas can help you and your students to
design and conduct your own quiz show.
