Originally published in January, 2012. Today we used this strategy in a middle school science class. Each student made a prediction about the outcome of an experiment, then covered over their prediction with a scratch-off sticker. After the experiment, students swapped with a peer and scratched off to see if the predictions were correct.
Everyone in my household found a scratch-off lottery ticket in their stocking this year. We each experienced a few moments of hope and excitement as we carefully chose the spots to scratch. You can add that same fun* to your classroom instruction with scratch-off stickers. These are available from several websites and are fairly inexpensive. Just print out a list of review items – events, dates, vocabulary- and place a sticker over each item. You can also simulate the experience even less expensively by laminating your review list and dabbing a bit of poster paint over each item. When the paint dries it can be scratched off with a coin, revealing the item underneath. Originally published in January, 2012. Today we used this strategy in a middle school science class.
