Trail Impact Study
Source Institutions
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.

Blazing the Trail
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners estimate distances between landmarks and use a map and scales to determine the actual distances.

Is It Living?
Source Institutions
This activity (on pages 10-12 of the PDF) encourages learners to consider what makes living things different from non-living things.

Pedal Power
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners examine bicycle mechanics and gear ratios. Learners determine which gears will help them bike a set course in the shortest amount of time.

Animal Scent
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Animal Scent Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into animal behavior.

How to View a Solar Eclipse
Source Institutions
This is an activity to do when there is a solar eclipse!

Wolf Limiting Factors
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate a wolf and its habitat and observe what happens when the limiting factors change over time.

Pop! Rocket Launcher
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

Telescopes as Time Machines
Source Institutions
This fun, nighttime hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore how long it takes for light from different objects in the universe to reach Earth.

Number of Mentos vs. Height: Soda Geyser Series #5
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine how many Mentos are needed to make the tallest possible soda geyser.

A Better Fly Trap
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe fly behavior and then build a flytrap.
River Catcher
Source Institutions
In this activity (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

Erosion
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model erosion using a clear shoebox and sand or soil.

Statistics: Steppin' Out
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners construct box-and-whisker plots to analyze and compare data sets. Learners investigate whether or not long-legged people run faster than short-legged people.

Temperature vs. Height: Soda Geyser Series #6
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine how temperature will affect the height of a soda geyser.

Soda Brand vs. Height Experiment: Soda Geyser Series #4
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine which brand of soda makes the best (highest) soda geyser.

Take a Hike!: A Family Forest Walk
Source Institutions
In this family or group inquiry activity, learners use their senses to explore a local forest or woodland.

Surface Area and Soda Geysers
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area and reactivity.

Sled Kite
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a sled kite that models a type of airfoil called a parawing.

Gravity Fountains
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into the forces of gravity and air pressure.
