Sample Scientists Flashcard

Relative Clause/Scientist Cards

Designed by Cam Lirette, these cards can be used to supplement relative clause lesson plans and work sheets. The cards are used for teaching the language of science. There is a lot of vocabulary and the scientist flashcards are not meant for elementary school students. In fact, these cards are meant for students in middle school to university.

Each scientist has two cards in the form of relative clauses that describe the job. Students have to match the two descriptions. The conversation should go something like this:

S2: Do you know someone who studies the ocean floor?
S2: Do you mean an oceanographer?
S1: Yes, I do.
S2: No, I'm sorry. Go fish.

or

S2:Yes, Here it is.
