This interactive card game is designed to introduce key laboratory equipment to students of all ages as a preparative activity for being exposed to real implements within practical sessions. This game aligns with numerous subject areas with laboratory elements including Biomedicine, Chemical Sciences, Biological Sciences and Medical Laboratory Sciences. To enhance the experience academics can also choose to replace the equipment cards with real-world items to increase interactivity and student awareness of the equipment used within your institution.

This game can be implemented into all levels of study from secondary education to higher education, as an addition to laboratory health and safety inductions, laboratory inductions or wider teaching to increase understanding and enhance communication across the cohort.
