Abstract
Identification and knowledge of representatives of fauna and flora are integral part of primary science education. A board game was created for this purpose.
The crucial problem in the science education is the selection of basic subject matter, including typical organisms. The goal of this contribution is to present the methodology of model organisms' selection with regard to the Czech nature variability expression.
The created education board game was piloted in the 4th and 5th grade at elementary school classes. The modified Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) tool was used to gain feedback.
The results of the pilot inventory show that pupils assume this game as interesting and usefulness to learning process focused on organisms.
