In this activity, learners train to increase muscular strength and improve upper and lower body coordination by performing the “bear crawl” and the "crab walk.” Learners perform the exercises over tim
Crew Strength Training
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will train to develop upper and lower body strength in their muscles and bones by performing body-weight squats and push-ups.
Mountain Man Measurement Rendezvous
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners participate in several activities where they apply measurement skills.
Pop! Rocket Launcher
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.
Salt Water Revival
Source Institutions

Bird Guide
Source Institutions
This activity is intended to familiarize learners with native Houston birds, introduce learners to tools biologists use in the field, and to enhance their observation skills.
Acting Out
Source Institutions
This activity (on pages 21-32 of PDF) has learners act out several classic brain teasers.
Balance Challenge
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners take a balance challenge to measure their average balance time. As they collect data, they investigate how practice and repetition improve their balance time.
Work for Your Money
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners earn "money" by completing simple tasks. Learners complete as many "jobs" as possible in a set amount of time.
What Do Birds Do?
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) is a full inquiry investigation into bird behaviors.
Digestive System: A Kinesthetic Lesson
Source Institutions
In this simulation, learners act out each digestive function of the organs, tissues, and cells in the digestive tract.
Get Moving! Active Play Indoors and Outdoors
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the importance of active play.
FlyBy Math: Distance-Rate-Time Problems in Air Traffic Control
Source Institutions
In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.
Stepping Out: Hop, Skip, Jump
Source Institutions
