My kids LOVE this! The preview is a PDF file, but the one you pay for is publisher so that you can change the name of the teacher and school on the checks to fit your classroom.

Students preplan in their groups what materials to use and how to place them in the upsidedown 2 liter. Once the prepare their "filtration system", I pour dirty water in and we collect it (glass baby food jars work great because you can see inside) out of the small opening at the bottom. Students then evaluate what they could improve, empty the 2 liter and try again. We compare all of the

Unplugged Coding Activity

Created by

Sean Honadel

Ever wondered how to teach coding without a computer? It happened to me, so I created my own codes from scratch. You can break your students into teams and give them a set of codes to program the teacher or a group member through a maze. I used masking tape and created a maze throughout the lab. These codes can be printed off using different colored cardstock and laminated for durability. Give your students a specific amount of time to create the right code to get someone from start to finish. I
