This detailed lesson plan for a field trip to Canyonlands National Park in Utah (page 32 of pdf) teaches students about the habitat of bighorn sheep.

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 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, learners use their feet to estimate distances. Learners calculate the distance of one step in centimeters by measuring 10 steps at a time to reduce measurement error.

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 .

In this math activity, learners jump and measure how far they can jump on different surfaces using different jumping techniques.

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.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

Discover the wind's direction using bubbles, a map and a keen eye. Learners blow bubbles and note their general direction on a map, taking readings from different points around a building.

In this activity, learners explore water pressure by conducting an experiment with a garden hose. Learners build a testing apparatus and create PVC nozzles with different sized holes.

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 hands-on and feet-on excursion, learners take a science walk to visualize the planet's immense size and numerous structures, without the usual scale and ratio dimensions found in most textbook

In this optics activity, learners split white light into all its component colors using three household items: a compact disc, dishwashing liquid, and a hose (outside).

In this activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

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

In this activity (located in the middle of the page), learners start a garden by planting their socks!

In this activity, learners work in teams to study the observation skills essential to scientific research.
