Force and motion 5 questions QR code treasure hunt challenge
The QR code treasure hunt challenge is a great opportunity for lesson review and team competition. Instructor can use the strategy to review concepts in a fun way. During the activity students are constantly on the move around the school hallways or in the classroom. Integration of QR codes in the activity makes it easy for teacher to disseminate and for student to access. Students receive immediate feedback which motivates them to participate. The activity can be used as an activator or summ

Coding with Circuits - Climate Design Challenge
Super fun and interactive way to teach circuits, coding and to challenge your students to design a game that involves a climate solution of their choice! HOOK: Have you ever learned something from a video game? What about a board game? Let's combine the two while we try to save the world together. Students will use Makey Makey circuit boards (not included ;) ) to first, build a pre-designed game to remove plastic from coral reefs (operation-style) and then, design their own gamified climate sol

Circuits Escape Room
This escape room challenge contains seven puzzles for students to practice their skills with current electricity and circuits. It was designed for the Ontario grade nine course SNC1W, but may fit into other grades/courses as well (depending on your location). I usually use it at the end of the circuits unit so students can practice for their unit test, but it could potentially be used as a "how much do you remember" activity for a more advanced physics course. Each puzzle leads to a code, which
