BACK TO SCHOOL STEM ACTIVITY: Paper Chain Math Challenge
This STEM activity is fantastic for all ages. It is engaging and meaningful. In my classroom, I grouped students heterogeneously. Then I gave them the challenge to construct the longest paper chain out of just ONE piece of construction paper. After an initial time period for sketching ideas, each group constructed their paper chain. Upon completion, we measured the chains in inches two at a time, eliminating the shorter chain, until we were left with the "winner". After each measurement, w

Electron Configuration Chemistry Battleship
This is the best method that I have found for ensuring that my students not only truly understand, but also adequately practice Noble Gas Configuration. This game can be played as a review at the end of a unit, or just after taking notes on noble gas and electron configuration. Here’s how it works: students guess the noble gas configuration for different elements to try and to sink their opponents ships- once they sink a ship they have to write out the electron configuration. It gets them practi
