Abstract
Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) are those raw materials which are economically and strategically important for the European economy but have a high-risk associated with their supply. This document describes a card game and provides all the material to play. The goal of the activity is to learn the importance of critical raw materials, their properties and their applications. Teachers can use a detailed description of each of the elements (with information about their mineral source, production, economic importance, properties and main uses) and Kahoot! questions to test the knowledge of their students. Students work in groups, matching cards (property and use) to guess which elements made a jet engine, a solar panel, a phone screen and many more items necessary in our everyday life.
