Task cards ask. FireFlash teaches, then asks.
Most digital task cards, including Boom Cards, are built around questions: a student answers, gets feedback, and moves to the next card. That works well for practice once a class already understands the idea.
FireFlash starts one step earlier. Each idea opens with a Learn card: a short, silent whiteboard animation that shows the science happening, such as water evaporating into invisible vapor or a magnet pulling steel through paper. Then Review questions give feedback and bring back the ideas a student missed, and Mastery questions show what each student can do on their own.
What you get with FireFlash
Ready-made science packs written for Grades 2–4, organized into series by grade. The Grade 3 Science in Motion series has 11 packs covering forces, magnets, weather, climate, life cycles, traits, fossils and animal groups.
No student accounts: students open a pack in the web browser from a link or QR code their teacher shares. No audio, so the cards work on a classroom screen or in a quiet room. A printable certificate when a student finishes.
Free packs open with no unlock code. Other packs are bought one at a time or as a series bundle from the K12 Movie Guides store, and each one is unlocked with its own code.
When a task-card platform may suit you better
FireFlash is a library of finished science packs; it is not a tool for building your own cards. If you want to make custom decks, or you need subjects FireFlash does not cover yet, a task-card platform may fit better. Many teachers use both: FireFlash to teach and practice a science topic, and task cards for other subjects.
Try it in five minutes
Open The Water Cycle or Weather Detectives on your classroom screen, play one Learn card with your class, and answer a few Review questions together. Both are free.
