Key Stage: KS3 and KS4 (Years 9, 10 and 11)
Note: Upto 8 games can be borrowed free of charge from Wilton Centre. They have to be collected and returned to the Wilton Centre on the agreed date and time. Schools are also required to ensure that all games have been checked to ensure that nothing is missing to enable other schools to use it.

The Lucky Strike Game was developed primarily to provide an alternate form for revision of chemistry/science topics in preparation for Key Stage 3 SATs and Key Stage 4 tests and exams. The other main reason was to make the pupils more aware of the companies involved with petrochemicals in the Tees Valley.

This board game involves four players. Rules and instructions are provided and it is advisable for the teacher(s) to be familiar with the instructions before using the game with the pupils.

There are two sets of 56 questions for each Key Stage and pupils can choose the easy or hard questions to answer.

Special thanks go to the teachers and companies who were involved in the production of this resource for schools. Teacher feedback has been very positive.
