Compound Intensity Board Game Mechanics

The video tutorial introduces the Compound Intensity Level One board game, designed to complement Lesson 17 of a chemistry course. It provides a comprehensive guide on setting up the game, including necessary materials and instructions for gameplay. The game helps students practice calculating formula weights, identifying ions, and writing compound formulas. Detailed rules for scoring, point-stealing, and advanced challenges are explained. The tutorial also covers the use of an answer key and special board spaces, and offers options for ending the game and determining the winner.
