In this cooperative game, learners devise strategies about sharing a small space with each other.

In this activity, learners listen to a story and tell a story of their own as they learn about the importance of elders in Native American cultures.

Make a rattle-like musical instrument! Shake it, hit it, spin it any way you want to!

In this activity, learners build a sled kite that models a type of airfoil called a parawing.

In this activity (25th on the page) about learning and memory, learners explore a training method that animal trainers employ called "shaping." Working in pairs, learners will attempt to "shape" each

This activity (on page 2) explores how sensing is part of robotics. Learners try tying their shoes with different constraints.

Did you know that a Slinky makes a handy model of earthquake waves?

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

In this outdoor activity, learners become beachcombers as they walk on a sandy beach in search of evidence of life.

In this activity, learners work in pairs to measure each other's ankles with lengths of string.

In this activity, learners make water rockets to explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Learners make the rockets out of plastic bottles and use a bicycle pump to pump them with air.

An outdoor scavenger hunt helps learners consider the theme of "What Is Life?" Learners explore what living organisms are, including how organisms meet basic needs of food, shelter and water to surviv

In this version of tag, a large group of learners model how the body fights infection. Learners act as germs, as lymphocytes, and as the body's cells threatened by germs.

This activity (on pages 38-43) has learners simulate the way scientists track and map the movement of otters in the wild using radio trackers.

Everybody loves boomerangs! In this activity about force and motion, the learners will experiment with boomerangs and explore how they work. This is a great activity to get learners up and moving.

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.

In this simulation activity, learners act as parts of the circulatory system and discover how it serves as a transport system for food/nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide and waste.

In this activity, learners participate in fun movement activities while playing on a giant game board. Use this activity to get learners involved in physical activity.

In this activity, learners of all ages will roll a ball coated with paint to artistically visualize the motion of the object.
