In this outdoor activity linking human health to the environment, learners use their pulse rates as a measure of the effort expended in walking on different slopes.

In this set of outdoor games, learners play the role of monkeys that are trying to get enough resources (food, shelter, and space) to survive.

In this outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.

In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.

In this highly physical outdoor activity, learners construct and compare experimental trail sections to select the best trail-construction technique for their site.

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.

This activity (9th activity on the page) about hearing demonstrates to learners the importance of having two ears.

In this health and fitness activity, learners focus on the importance of daily physical activity, specifically walking.

In this activity, learners explore how to stay fit the fun way. Learners participate in three physical activities.

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 discuss and investigate how cameras, telescopes, and their own eyes use light in similar ways.

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.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Extreme Sounds) is a full inquiry investigation into sound.

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.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners set up a simple experiment to find out how sunscreen counteracts the effects of the sun.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of valve operation and how engineers have adapted valves for use in mechanical heart valve design.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

This fun hands-on astronomy activity uses a variety of simple props to help learners understand why they see what they see in a telescope.
