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

In this set of outdoor games, learners increase their awareness of the outdoor environment by going on a scavenger hunt and an out-of-place hunt.

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 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 use a hand-made protractor to measure angles they find in playground equipment.

In this geometry activity, learners explore networks painted on playgrounds, such as a four square court, and draw their own.

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.

Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.

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 cooperation and logical thinking to find solutions to network problems on the playground.

Have you ever heard of a camera without a lens? In this activity, learners create a pinhole camera out of simple materials. They'll see the world in a whole new way: upside down and backwards!

In this activity, learners explore how polarizing sunglasses can help diminish road glare.

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

This activity gets learners looking at 6-sided shapes in nature, including the cells of a beehive, as well as other shapes.

In this design-based lesson, learners study flood dynamics as they modify a riverbed with blockages or levees to simulate real-world scenarios.
