Trashketball™ is a No Prep Science game where students take shots to score points based on how quickly they answered the questions, but only if they are correct!
The game is playable with the whole class together, or you can play it in small groups. There are 20 questions and answers are included.
This version is:School Level: High School
Grade: Grade 9

Unit: Biology

Topic: Cell Cycle & Mitosis
It is a digital resource. No printouts are required. All questions and answers use text and mathematical notation (formulas), and there are no diagrams, maps, charts, graphics, or visual aids.
While we provide a correct answer for every question, teachers should consider that students may provide a different answer that is correct and use their discretion.
How It Works
- The game runs in Google Slides, and you can replace the questions and answers if you like.
- Make 3 or more teams, and set up a trash can, and up to 3 shooting positions.
- The closest shooting position is worth 1 point, middle is 2 points, and the furthest away is 3.
- Start the first question.
- The teams race to answer the questions correctly on a piece of paper. When done, they hold up the answer they wrote on a piece of paper.
- Yes, it is chaos, and so much fun!
- Once all teams have answered, check the answer, which is provided on the next slide.
- If correct, the first team to answer gets 3 shots, 2nd gets 2, and the rest get 1 shot, from any position they want.
- Each shot that goes in is worth the points determined from that position.
- Add up the points and keep score on the board.
- The team with the most points at the end is the winner.
- Questions vary in difficulty and the answer is provided after each question.

This resource was exactly what I needed! The directions were clear, engaging, and easy for my students to follow. The visuals and activities kept them interested, and it aligned perfectly with the standards. I appreciated that it worked well for both whole-group and small-group instruction. Definitely a time-saver and worth it!
Well thought out resource and useful in my classroom. Thank you!

Great resource to use as a unit review! Students enjoyed playing.
Students had so much fun with this activity. It was challenging, but the fun aspect truly engaged the students.
My students really enjoyed this review game. We ended up splitting into four teams so that more students were involved on each question and then each team could pick who they wanted to assign their points to. We were able to use the slides for this and we had a lot of fun. My students have asked if this can be our next review game too!
We use this during small groups to help with identifying prime and composite numbers.
A great resource for my seventh grade math students!
Fun way to practice input and output with third graders!
Highly engaging way to reinforce basic robotic concepts
