Activity cards

These ten activities are designed to be completed in class. Each activity card looks at a theme covered by the online plugin2engineering game. They can be used in conjunction with the game, as preparation or consolidation, or independently.

Download and print the cards here, or teachers can order a pack containing a set of photocopiable cards.

Each activity card is supported by an information card and has links with an interactive plugin2engineering activity (which can be completed as part of the Electronica Island game or as stand-alone activities).
