This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cave Swallows Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into bird behaviors.

Working in teams of four, learners build tetrahedral kites following specific instructions and using specific materials.

In this activity, learners experiment with creating various types of bubble solutions and testing which ingredients form longer-lasting bubbles.

This is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area and reactivity.

In this activity, learners use cheap, thin plastic garbage bags to quickly build a solar hot air balloon. In doing so, learners will explore why hot air rises.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Hockey Sticks Activity) about composites, materials made of 2 or more different components.

In this outdoor, night activity, learners track nocturnal animals' footprints, droppings and other signs of their presence.

In this inquiry-based lesson, learners measure the biomass of trees, calculate the carbon stored by the trees, and use this information to create recommendations about using trees for carbon sequestra

In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

In this outdoor activity, learners review the parts of the synapse and their functions by playing a game.

In this activity, learners make their own bug boxes and test the habitat preference of selected "minibeasts" (bugs).

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

In this kinesthetic activity, learners will play a game with a ball to demonstrate the Coriolis force, which partly explains why hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise.

In this engineering activity, learners examine bicycle mechanics and gear ratios. Learners determine which gears will help them bike a set course in the shortest amount of time.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into the forces of gravity and air pressure.

In this activity, learners will train to increase bone strength and to improve heart and other muscle endurance by performing jump training with a rope, both while stationary and moving.

In this design-based activity, learners explore environments, ecosystems, energy flow and organism interactions by creating a model biodome. Learners become engineers who create model ecosystems.

This lesson plan enables learners to explore the differences between weather and climate.

In this activity (located on pages 9-14 of PDF), learners visit a cemetery to examine the distinguishing characteristics of rock weathering.

In this activity, learners collect worms and then observe how they move.
