In-Between Unit Activity Suggestions

Do you have any suggestions for an activity to do in between units? I am finishing a unit on Wednesday with an assessment and don't want to start the new unit until Monday because I will have new students starting Monday. I was thinking about either a review of previous units or an activity to review SEPs or certain CCCs. Any good (and fun!) suggestions?

Ooo, do a model/ poster challenge. Have the kids make some sort of explanatory thing (a model, a poster, a poem, whatever) of anything they thought was particularly important from any previous unit. (This can include the science & engineering practices & the cross-cutting concepts.) Or something they learned in class that connected to something else - either in another class or at home. It'll be a quick one - create the thing on Thursday & present it on Friday - but it's a chance for them to think creatively & to make connections (& to practice science communication skills). Whatever you do, have fun!
