In this activity, learners "dance" (move back and forth at varying speeds) by reading a graph. This is a kinesthetic way to help learners interpret and understand how motion is graphed.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

In this hands-on activity, children create their own kites that can fly indoors. Learners are exposed to basic concepts of gravity and air resistance.

This is an activity about music, movement, and math. Learners will start a rhythm pattern with 2, 3, or 4 beats. For instance, tap your foot, jump, clap, repeat.

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore evaporation by painting with water and tracing puddles. Learners will discover that wet things become dry as the water evaporates.

Build time sense into the schedule by asking learners to predict what can happen in a certain amount of time: We have 20 minutes before outdoor time. What can you get done?

In this activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.

In this activity, learners listen to a story and tell a story of their own as they learn about the importance of elders in Native American cultures.

Make your own "Dance Dance Revolution" dance pad! In this design challenge activity, learners work in teams to build a dance pad that lets you use your feet to sound a buzzer or flash a light.

Use the Zoo Calendar (page 1 of PDF) to involve learners in interdisciplinary, whole language, and writing activities about ecological concepts.

In this activity, learners will observe how air interacts with a paper helicopter. Learners will test different variables of weight, size, and shape.

To understand how skaters turn in midair, try this little experiment! Individuals can do this activity alone, but it works better with a partner.

This activity provides instructions for making an aircraft that can really fly using a straw and paper hoops!

When baseball was in its infancy, the ball had plenty of bounce. Today's baseball may not seem to have bounce to it at all; if you drop a ball on the field it won't bounce back.

Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.

In this activity, learners act out the flow of blood in the human body! A great way to get learners up and moving while learning about the circulatory system.

During this activity, learners take part in a variety of tasks which involve moving and balancing different body parts.

Make a kite out of a garbage bag, shower curtain, painting tarp--anything light, thin, flexible and plastic!

Teams of learners use a series of stick figures made from pipe cleaners to model a dance routine. Then, they use this model to communicate to another learner who performs the dance routine.

In this activity, learners will keep track of how much they can do in one minute. Instructors can pick something everyone will do for a minute, such as jumping up and down or drawing stars.
