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

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

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 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.

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

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

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 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 activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.

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

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

In this math lesson, learners construct box-and-whisker plots to analyze and compare data sets. Learners investigate whether or not long-legged people run faster than short-legged people.

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

In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into the forces of gravity and air pressure.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides) is a full inquiry investigation into speed and motion and takes place at a water park.
