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 indoor and/or outdoor activity, learners make an anemometer (an instrument to measure wind speed) out of a protractor, a ping pong ball and a length of thread or fishing line.

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

A design challenge that takes paper airplanes into an entirely different direction: a magnus glider uses cups and and rubber bands to create a glider that uses the same forces that a curveball (from b

In this meteorological activity, learners get to build their very own anemometer (instrument for measuring wind speed) using a paper cup.

Learners trace, cut out and fly a boomerang, outdoors or in a large indoor space.

In this activity, learners will make seed orbs to grow new trees and plants. Learners will explore ecology and life cycles as well as stewardship through this activity.

Use this Moon Map Guide to help learners identify features on the Moon, while looking through a telescope.

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.

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

In this activity, learners compare plant and animal life in different habitats including a sidewalk crack and lawn. Learners sort human-made materials and natural materials found in each habitat.

This is a tape and glue activity in which learners make binoculars that they can decorate and then use to go bird watching.

This is an activity about motion, power, air and Newton’s Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

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

In this activity, learners explore how polarizing sunglasses can help diminish road glare.

In this activity, learners use their hands as tools for indirect measurement.

In this activity on page 13 of the PDF, use a special plastic card that has been painted with a chemical that changes color when it is in UV light.

In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

This activity demonstrates the importance of wearing a helmet to protect the brain. An egg is used to symbolize a head with the shell as the skull and the inside of the egg as the brain.
