Frequently asked questions
Where do the definitions come from?
From the same checked question banks as the science worksheets, written for grades 3–8.
Does it work on phones and classroom screens?
Yes. Cards resize to the screen and are big enough to tap; on a projector, students can take turns to pick.
Can I print the cards?
Yes. “Download cards PDF” prints every pair in the science matching game as cut-out cards, 20 per A4 page.
Is anything saved or shared?
No. The game runs in your browser and nothing you type or play is stored or sent anywhere.
How do memory and matching modes differ?
In memory mode cards start face down and you remember where they are; in matching mode they’re face up, so it’s purely about knowing the answer.
