In this math activity, learners will create a scale diagram of their backyard or other outdoor area on graph paper.

In this activity, learners will take a walk with their family and incorporate a scavenger hunt. They will explore topics like ABC’s, numbers, colors, and shapes as they search for related items.

In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

In this activity, learners calculate the number of milliliters of water a nearby tree transpires per day.

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 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 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.

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

In this activity, learners use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.

Build time sense into the schedule by asking learners to predict what can happen in a certain amount of time: We have 20 minutes before outdoor time. What can you get done?

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

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch), learners will stand twelve feet apart swinging a rope at the slowest tempo possible while someone uses a stopwatch to record

In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Baseball Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into how "bounciness" relates to the distance a ball will fly when hit off a batting tee.

In this activity, learners will decide together on a question about how far, long or high the group could reach together.

In this math activity related to light, learners assemble a photometer and use it to estimate the power output of the Sun.

In this math lesson (on Page 13), learners predict and simulate the likelihood of an event occurring.
