In this math activity, learners will create a scale diagram of their backyard or other outdoor area on graph paper.

This is an activity about discovering the colors and beauty of nature. Learners will spend time outdoors, matching paint chip samples, colored paper, or colors of clothing to those found in nature.

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 activity, learners explore how and why rainbows form by creating rainbows in a variety of ways using simple materials. Learners create rainbows indoors and outdoors.

In this activity, learners investigate the concepts of relative size and distance by creating a basic model of the solar system.

Before there were clocks, people used shadows to tell time. In this outdoor activity, learners will discover how to tell time using only a compass, a pencil, a handy printout, and a sunny day.

In this nighttime, outdoor activity, learners keep a record of what they see in the sky by drawing constellations, the Moon, and making note of the weather and conditions each day.

In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

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

Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

In this math activity, learners make their own bubble wands and determine if the size of the wand affects the number of bubbles it produces.

This fun hands-on astronomy activity lets learners use star maps (included) to find constellations and to identify stars with extrasolar planets (Northern Hemisphere only, naked eye).

Learners follow a three-step process to start their own rock collection.

In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners use common materials to construct a rain gauge and measure daily, monthly, and yearly rainfall.

In this geometry activity, learners explore networks painted on playgrounds, such as a four square court, and draw their own.

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

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