Gaming in the Outdoors
Source Institutions
In this set of outdoor games, learners increase their awareness of the outdoor environment by going on a scavenger hunt and an out-of-place hunt.

Terrestrial Hi-Lo Hunt
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

Sensory Hi-Lo Hunt
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

Ladybug Spots
Source Institutions
In this art/science/math activity, young learners are introduced to the concept of symmetry in nature.

Great Steamboat Race
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

Damsels and Dragons
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners conduct experiments to explore where dragonflies and damselflies perch or rest, and how the flies change behavior in reaction to other flies or fly decoys

Trail Impact Study
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

Cool It
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.

Size Wheel
Source Institutions
In this fun sticker activity, learners will create a size wheel with images of objects of different size, from macroscopic scale (like an ant) to nanoscale (like DNA).

Sawing Away
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners saw sections from fallen trees, then count tree rings and look closely at patterns of tree growth.

Clear Water, Murky Water
Source Institutions
How do scientists measure how clear or murky water in a lake is? How does water clarity (clearness) affect what lives in the lake?

Trail Construction
Source Institutions
In this highly physical outdoor activity, learners construct and compare experimental trail sections to select the best trail-construction technique for their site.

Wintergreen
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.

Jump Start
Source Institutions
In this movement and measurement activity, learners jump as far as they can three times, and compare their longest jump to the longest jump of their friends, classmates and/or family members.
