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

In this activity, learners explore how and why rainbows form by creating rainbows in a variety of ways using simple materials. Learners create rainbows indoors and outdoors.

In this activity, learners measure the diameter of their water balloons, model an impact, measure the diameter of the “crater” area, and determine the ratio of impactor to crater.

In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

In this outdoor activity, learners use pegs (like tent pegs) and string or elastic to simulate drill sites and roads in Northern Canada.

In this activity, learners walk the sides and interior angles of various polygons drawn on the playground. As they do so, learners practice rotating clockwise 180° and 360°.

In this math activity, learners observe and sketch cracking patterns in pavement.

In this activity, learners will trick out their bike with crafts and flair. Learners will explore symmetry, cause and effect and design through this activity.

In this activity, learners use a hand-made protractor to measure angles they find in playground equipment.

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 outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

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

In this activity, learners use an astrolabe to measure the altitude of objects. Learners will first practice taking measurements by measuring the altitude of trees and buildings.

In this activity, learners build a water squirter using a PVC pipe, dowel, and foam. This activity is great for the summer time and introduces learners to forces and water pressure.

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

In this activity, learners will measure the length of their shadow from the Sun and compare it three to four months later.

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.

In this math lesson, learners use a variety of manipulatives to explore spatial relationships of squares and their transformations.
