Product description

From the author

Science Tools Bingo provides fifty boards, thirty named calling cards, printable markers and directions across four PDF files totaling 56 pages in a ZIP download.

Students match called terms and pictures to spaces on their boards. The vocabulary includes goggles, gloves, apron, microscope, tongs and other equipment. Preview the pictures with students and explain each actual tool before playing.

Print and cut the materials; laminate if desired for reuse. Teach laboratory safety procedures separately from this vocabulary game.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Students identify and recall the names of common science tools and lab safety equipment, such as beaker, microscope, goggles, and tongs.

  • Students recognize a called vocabulary term on their own bingo card and mark it correctly.

  • Students recognize horizontal, vertical, and diagonal winning patterns on a bingo grid.

Teaching tips

  • Laminate the bingo cards and chips before play so the set can be reused across classes and future units, as the how-to guide suggests.

  • Use the game to introduce new science-tool vocabulary before a lab unit or to review it afterward, per the guide's own suggested use.

  • Use an actual object or accurate reference image when introducing a tool. The cards labeled Beaker and Flask show people in lab scenes rather than clear isolated views of those tools. Print and cut the calling cards and markers before play.

Skills covered

  • Science vocabulary recognition — students match a spoken or pictured term (beaker, cylinder, microscope, tongs) to the matching space on their own bingo card.

  • Lab safety equipment identification — students recognize protective items such as goggles, gloves, a safety mask, and an apron among the vocabulary set.

  • Pattern recognition — students track their card for a completed horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line, per the game's stated winning conditions.
