In this activity, learners will observe birds in their backyard or local park. They will attempt to find common Ohio birds and will look for bird behaviors just like an ornithologist.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Biodiversity Activity), learners will pair up and take a notebook outdoors to a selected location to observe and record a list of living things that t

In this indoor or outdoor demonstration, use a large and small ball to illustrate conservation of energy and momentum.

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, learners discover how exercise helps keep the body healthy. Learners increase their heart rates by running and understand how running fast versus walking affects their pulse rates.

In this group or individual activity, learners are encouraged to watch birds near home or school—possibly where birds are nesting in a tree, pecking in a park, feeding from a feeder, or flying through

Learners draw and describe a leaf, and then re-find leaves drawn and described by other learners. Learners can observe leaves outside, or leaves may be brought into the classroom.

In this activity, learners explore how to stay fit the fun way. Learners participate in three physical activities.

In this kinesthetic activity, learners will play a game with a ball to demonstrate the Coriolis force, which partly explains why hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise.

In this activity, learners model a population of deer and see how the number of deer changes over time.

In this activity, learners investigate parallax, a method used to measure distances to stars and planets in the solar system.

In this activity, learners create a CloudSpotter wheel and record the different types of clouds they observe twice daily over several days.

In this activity, learners use their hands as tools for indirect measurement.

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?

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Biodiversity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into biodiversity.

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of their shadow from the Sun and compare it three to four months later.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) is a full inquiry investigation into bird behaviors.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Where's Nano? Activity) about identifying nanoscale objects and phenomena in today's world.
