Speed Eleusis: Variation on an Old Educational Card Game
Walkup, John R.; Key, Roger
Physics Teacher, v58 n3 p160-163 Mar 2020
In this article, we describe a fun and engaging card game called Speed Eleusis that teaches the process of scientific discovery and publication, including such practices as replication and retraction. Much like the traditional game of Eleusis and its variant Eleusis Express, this game involves students competing to model a pattern displayed in a sequence of ordinary playing cards. Speed Eleusis, however, features a quicker pace and is easier to manage. Although developed for introductory physics and physical science labs at a four-year university and two-year college, Speed Eleusis should prove ideal across a wide range of science subjects and age groups, especially during the first week of instruction.
