A fabulous collection of Harry Potter activities with a focus on Science!
These would make a great series of STEM challenges or a Harry Potter theme day (or days) in your classroom.
High-quality digital tools for kids that are both educational and entertaining.
"Welcome to our 14 Day Activity Challenge for fun activities for kids you can do at home. Of course, you can use them in the classroom, with scout groups, library programs, summer camps, and so many more places! Here, we know fun and we do fun every day!
Did you know that each of these kid’s activities even provides a bit of hands-on learning? Whether you are playing with STEM or STEAM, science or sensory, this challenge will have you covered with a new activity each day of the week."
Kids will go crazy for these balloon experiments, whether they’re building a balloon-powered boat or powering a light bulb with static electricity. Balloons are bright, affordable, and supply lots of educational fun!
Powerpoint presentation:
Welcome and Introductions, Housekeeping items, Four Corners activity, Curriculum Information, Websites and Apps, So many hands on activities and demos, A couple of musical interludes, Feedback on the workshop, Thank you and safe travels home
Students worked in collaborative learning groups to ask questions and research on the above outcomes. Next, students had to build their own musical instrument and manipulate its sound in a presentation format of their choice, to show their learning.
Here is a collection of resources you can use to have students reflect on their 21st century skills. Many of these were initially used after a STEM challenge, but they could be used after any activity.
TWENTY amazing lessons to teach computer science to Grades 3 to 5.
The curriculum is organized into 5 units: Scratch Review, Creative Commons, Makey Makey, Conditionals and Final Project.
If you need something easier be sure to use the Green level (Level 1) by using the tabs at the top of the website or finding it in the resource bank. If you need something harder head to Purple (Level 3) using the same method.
This fabulous resource has everything you need to get started coding and computer science with your students TODAY!

Challenges include: balloon tower, index card tower and paper chair challenge!
I suggest discussing which 21st century skills will be needed to do each activity before students do it, and then use them to reflect after the challenges. In the past when this was done, I used SECRET skills to do this.

"Here’s some of my favorite budget friendly projects for makerspaces. Note that while I am in a middle school, I’ve seen all four of these projects done at both the elementary and high school levels. It might take some scaffolding and adjustment, but they can definitely be done at any level." - Diana Rendina
This excellent list from "dailystem.com" will give you plenty of fun and educational STEM activities you can do at home with your family.
Enjoy!

Students are introduced to the properties of acids and bases, as well as how to name them. This lesson
takes place over two class periods usually. We begin by discussing what students know about acids and
bases. We try to create a student generated list of features. This has ranged from a very small list to
large list in the past, depending on student experiences. Next, I give a lesson on the definition of acids
and bases, followed by some properties. Next, students use a lab to experience and determine which is
an acid or a base (and the relevant strengths) using a stations lab.
Following the lab, students may choose to work in groups or with me in a smaller group on naming and
writing formula for acids and bases. They then practice naming and correct as a group.
