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. This map skills challenge

Bacteria Fungi Algae Protozoa and Viruses — A Card Sort Inquiry Activity

In this activity, kids study a collection of images of various pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa). It also compares these to microscopic plants and animals so that kids can begin to get a sense of the categorical differences between these groups. Through a series of challenges, students are asked to sort and classify; identify images that have been colorized; compare the sizes of various microorganisms; and compare photos of models to the real thing. This is a great introductory

Gravity Lab: Calculating Distance in Space

Created by
Mark Brown
In this lab, students start by measuring how far they can jump on Earth, and then calculate how far they could jump on the different planets and Earth's moon, based on the amount of gravity present on each body. This was a great way to demonstrate the effects of gravity, while also reinforcing the 6th grade math concept of division of decimals. All steps of the scientific method are included, along with a full rubric to assess students' learning. **Find the Dual Language Spanish version here:

Frankenfish Genetics Lab Activity

I use this assignment to have students demonstrate their understanding of Punnett squares because each student creates a fish family that is unique to only them. Generally, I complete one trait with the class and have random students flip a coin to determine whether the trait I’m figuring out will be homozygous dominant, heterozygous dominant, and homozygous recessive. I also use this time to review (or if I’m using this lesson to introduce the topic) or begin the topic. No answer key provided b
