In this outdoor, sensory activity, learners role play as animals trying to identify their "family's" scent and locate their "territory." Learners mark their territories and sniff out other territories

In this outdoor activity and fun race, learners first find the most common type of tree in a forest site.

In this set of outdoor games, learners play the role of monkeys that are trying to get enough resources (food, shelter, and space) to survive.

In this outdoor game, learners simulate a herd of deer trying to survive in an area called the "home range." Learners explore the concept of "carrying capacity"—what size population of an organism can

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.

In this activity, learners will observe and record living things with in outlined outside space.

In this activity, learners explore and compare the buoyant properties of materials found in nature and in human-made materials.

In this activity, learners make a camouflaged butterfly to hide outside for others to find.

In this activity, multiple learners will use a game with ballloons to learn about coqui frog behavior.

In this activity, learners use simple, everyday materials to experiment with balls and ramps.

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

In this activity, learners will construct a measuring device (snake "string") to improve their observation skills.

In this activity, learners will trick out their bike with crafts and flair. Learners will explore symmetry, cause and effect and design through this activity.

In this outdoor activity and animal-role-play game, learners discover and uncover the hidden world of "cryptozoa"—organisms such as spiders, salamanders and slugs that live under objects, like rocks a

In this activity, one person acts as a human robot while another acts as their developer by programming their actions.

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

In this activity, learners use cooperation and logical thinking to find solutions to network problems on the playground.

In this activity, some learners pretend to be wolves, while the other learners pretend to be the prey of the wolf. The goal of the simulation is to have the wolves work together to survive.

During this interactive "survival" game, students learn about the importance of camouflage and how it helps animals to blend into their surroundings, as either predator or prey.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War) is a full inquiry investigation into tug-of-war physics. Groups of learners will test two tug-of-war strategies.
