Map Skills & Compass Directions ~ Coding Unplugged Challenge ~ STEM
This coding unplugged activity is one of many that I am creating to use in my STEM classroom! We do these coding challenges about once a week. They are great for teaching sequencing and logical reasoning to students. There are no right or wrong answers, and many different solutions will work! You could also rotate these challenges through a science center. I store everything in a dollar store gift bag or plastic tub for each individual coding unplugged challenge.

Exploratory lab to understand physical and chemical properties of matter.
My students loved this lab. It was a way to not just do lab, but move through each station which kinestetic learners thrive on movement and doing. Please take the opportunity to rate this lab!
Please see example, to ensure right for your students. I teach very diverse population. This can be modified for each level of need. Not intended for a chemistry high school class.
