With multiple visuals and built-in reviews, this activity stimulates intelligence, builds concentration and retention, and increases science vocabulary and pronunciation skills. Use it for whole-group practice, individual review, or even homework for a fun way to reinforce 8th grade science curriculum on traits and reproduction. More Spanish games and activities for math, language arts, and more levels available in our TpT store.
