In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.

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

In this activity, learners make a solar oven. Learners witness the awesome power of the sun to make a yummy treat--a chocolate chip cookie!

In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent an emergency shelter that can fit a person and is sturdy and quick to build.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.
