In this activity, learners discover a brain process called habituation.

In this activity, learners will train to improve lung, heart, and other muscle endurance as they walk a progressive, measured distance.

This activity is a whole-group kinesthetic demonstration that shows learners what it means to be in a "risk group" for developing heart disease based on family history and genetics.

In this activity, learners will take a walk with their family and incorporate a scavenger hunt. They will explore topics like ABC’s, numbers, colors, and shapes as they search for related items.

In this activity, learners simulate a wolf and its habitat and observe what happens when the limiting factors change over time.

In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

In this activity, learners take their own pulse and explore how heart rate is affected by various activities.

In this outdoor activity, learners explore how a surprising number of animals use human-made litter, such as cans and crumpled paper, to find food and shelter in their environment.

In this health and fitness activity, learners focus on the importance of daily physical activity, specifically walking.

Learners combine counting, multiples, and number patterns with jumping up and down. To start, pick a counting number.

In this movement and measurement activity, learners jump as far as they can three times, and compare their longest jump to the longest jump of their friends, classmates and/or family members.

In this activity, learners will trick out their bike with crafts and flair. Learners will explore symmetry, cause and effect and design through this activity.

How much can you do in one minute? In this activity, learners estimate how many times a partner can complete a task (like writing their name or jumping jacks) in one minute.

This is a quick game about self-assembly (page 2 of PDF under Self-Assembly Activity). Like the molecules of DNA, learners will self-assemble into a pattern by following a simple set of rules.

In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.

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.

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