In this outdoor activity and/or field trip, learners investigate the behavior of hopping animals.

In this activity, learners model erosion using a clear shoebox and sand or soil.

In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Animal Scent Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into animal behavior.

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

In this activity, learners investigate parallax, a method used to measure distances to stars and planets in the solar system.

In this math lesson (on Page 13), learners predict and simulate the likelihood of an event occurring.

In this activity, learners explore and compare the buoyant properties of materials found in nature and in human-made materials.

This is an activity about motion, power, air and Newton’s Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

This is an activity to do when there is a solar eclipse!

In this activity, learners explore the concept of insulation by trying to keep Olaf the Snowman from melting. This activity encourages critical thinking and problem solving.

In this craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.

In this activity, learners use tonic water to detect ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun and explore the concept of fluorescence.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity demonstrates the shadow of the Earth as it rises as a dark blue shadow above the eastern horizon.

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF), learners create a low-tech refrigerator that requires no electricity to keep food from spoiling.

In this kinesthetic activity that demonstrates pressure, learners act as air molecules in a "container" as defined by a rope.

In this two-part outdoor activity, learners conduct a population census of squirting clams on a beach or mudflat, and investigate the clams' natural history.

In this activity, learners will decide together on a question about how far, long or high the group could reach together.

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