Warm up for the quarter exam with a fast board on energy, waves, forces, magnetism, machines, and structures—built only from the lesson’s key terms and examples. This is a Middle School Science review game in a Jeopardy-style format: a teacher puts the board on one screen, teams pick clues by point value, and the class answers out loud — no student devices or accounts needed. Categories: Energy Fundamentals, Light & Waves, Forces & Motion, Magnetism & Electricity, Simple Machines & Structures.

- mass
Magnetism & Electricity
- $100 — Like poles of a magnet do this.
- repel
- $200 — Opposite poles of a magnet do this.
- attract
- $300 — A magnet’s ends are called these.
- poles
- $400 — A magnet’s behavior is due to this north–south property.
- polarity
- $500 — The flow of electrons along a path is this.
- current
Simple Machines & Structures
- $100 — A device that makes work easier is this.
- machine
- $200 — A seesaw is an example of this simple machine.
- lever
- $300 — The part of a lever that holds and balances weight.
- fulcrum
- $400 — This machine can help overcome friction by pairing a round wheel with a center shaft.
- wheel and axle
- $500 — The base of a building is this.
