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

In this outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Baseball Activity), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.

In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.

In this health and fitness activity, learners focus on the importance of daily physical activity, specifically walking.

In this activity about flight, learners explore how high they can jump. Learners dip their finger in ink or dirt, then jump as high as they can and mark paper attached to the wall.

Put math of measurement into lining up — and make waiting in line fun. Choose a size characteristic that learners can physically compare, such as foot length or hair length.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick) is a full inquiry investigation into transfer of motion.

In this activity, learners will train to improve lung, heart, and other muscle endurance as they walk a progressive, measured distance.

In this quick activity, learners take a balance challenge to measure their average balance time. As they collect data, they investigate how practice and repetition improve their balance time.

In this activity, learners compare ways to measure their heart rates. Learners build their own stethoscopes and learn how exercise affects heart rate.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts using cardboard and measuring spoons. Use this activity to introduce learners to catapults, forces, and levers.

In this outdoor activity linking human health to the environment, learners use their pulse rates as a measure of the effort expended in walking on different slopes.

These math posters have questions written on them, such as: How many colors can you name in a minute? or How many seconds can you balance on one foot?

In this health activity, learners create a device so that they not only feel their heartbeat, but also see it, using a straw and some clay.

In this experiment, pairs of learners explore how cold water affects circulation. The mammalian diving reflex (MDR) slows circulation when the body is exposed to cold water.

This is an activity about prediction. How far can you hop in 5 seconds? Could you make it to the door? Across the room? Everyone lines up and tries it.

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their breathing and pulse rates, and learn how these measurements are affected by physical activity.

In this activity, learners discover how their heart rate changes in different situations.

In this activity about heart health (on page 27 of the PDF), learners measure their heart rates after a variety of physical activities and compare the results with their resting heart rates, and with

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Baseball Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into how "bounciness" relates to the distance a ball will fly when hit off a batting tee.
