Cloning and Stem Cells Jeopardy!

Waterford Union High School

Rules

• Each team sends one person per turn. They cannot get help from their team

• First to “buzz” in gets 15 seconds to answer. • If the first person to buzz cannot get the answer, the

second team can buzz in. Once they buzz in, they too have 15 seconds. They also cannot get help.

• You either gain or lose points on each turn.• If no team buzzes within 10 seconds, the question

ends and the answer is given.
