This is an outdoor activity designed to demonstrate evolution of feeding behavior in flocking, schooling or herding animals that maximizes allocation of food resources and enhances survival.

This outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes) is a full inquiry investigation into how the amount of moisture in a sand dune relates to the number of plants growing

How do scientists measure how clear or murky water in a lake is? How does water clarity (clearness) affect what lives in the lake?

In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

In this outdoor, beach activity, learners use tennis balls, water balloons and other simple devices to investigate the movement of waves and currents off a sandy beach.

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

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

In this engineering activity, learners will get acquainted with the basics of wind energy and power production by fabricating and testing various blade designs for table-top windmills constructed from

This lesson plan enables learners to explore the differences between weather and climate.

Learners draw and describe a leaf, and then re-find leaves drawn and described by other learners. Learners can observe leaves outside, or leaves may be brought into the classroom.

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 make their own bubble wands and determine if the size of the wand affects the number of bubbles it produces.

Learners follow a three-step process to start their own rock collection.

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

In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners use common materials to construct a rain gauge and measure daily, monthly, and yearly rainfall.

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