How Big Were the Dinosaurs?
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 4 of PDF), learners gain insight into the actual size of dinosaurs and practice making estimations and measurements.
Pace-Off!
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners use non-standard measurement (paces) to find the distance from one point to another. Learners practice estimating and measuring distances .
Jump Like a Frog
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners jump and measure how far they can jump on different surfaces using different jumping techniques.
Supersize That Dinosaur
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most. Then, learners estimate the size of a Triceratops and T.
Stepping Out: Hop, Skip, Jump
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.
Equatorial Sundial
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make an equatorial sundial, which is simple to construct and teaches fundamental astronomical concepts. Learners use the provided template and a straw to build the sundial.
It's the "Rain," Man
Source Institutions
In this weather forecasting activity, learners use common materials to construct a rain gauge and measure daily, monthly, and yearly rainfall.
Gravity Fountains
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into the forces of gravity and air pressure.
Shadow Play
Source Institutions
In this three part activity, learners explore and experiment with shadows to learn about the Sun's relative motion in the sky.
Carbon Sequestration
Source Institutions
In this inquiry-based lesson, learners measure the biomass of trees, calculate the carbon stored by the trees, and use this information to create recommendations about using trees for carbon sequestra
The Shadow Knows II
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.
Leaf it to Me
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.
My Angle on Cooling: Effects of Distance and Inclination
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.
