Seed Dispersal
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and bingo-like game, learners explore why and how seeds spread far from the plants that produce them.
Synaptic Tag
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners review the parts of the synapse and their functions by playing a game.
Silent Stalking
Source Institutions
In this outdoor game, learners role play predator and prey to explore the importance of keen hearing and silent stalking skills in the animal world.
Invent an Animal
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.
Exploring Strange New Worlds
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore model planets (that they or an educator will create), using methods NASA scientists use to explore our Solar System.
Plant Hunt
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and game, learners collect and sort leaf samples to determine how many types of plants grow in the activity site.
Envirolopes
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and observation game, learners hunt for a variety of textures, colors, odors and evidence of organisms in the activity site.
Variation Game
Source Institutions
In this set of outdoor games, learners play the role of monkeys that are trying to get enough resources (food, shelter, and space) to survive.
Solving Playground Network Problems
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use cooperation and logical thinking to find solutions to network problems on the playground.
Wolf Survival
Source Institutions
In this activity, some learners pretend to be wolves, while the other learners pretend to be the prey of the wolf. The goal of the simulation is to have the wolves work together to survive.
Tree Tally
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and fun race, learners first find the most common type of tree in a forest site.
Population Game
Source Institutions
In this outdoor game, learners simulate a herd of deer trying to survive in an area called the "home range." Learners explore the concept of "carrying capacity"—what size population of an organism can
Night Eyes
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, night-time activity, learners discover how to spot eye-shine (reflection of light from an animal's eyes) by using a flashlight to play a simulation game.
Neuron Chain Tag
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners play a game of Tag to discover how neurons attach themselves to each other to form a chain.
Food Chain Game
Source Institutions
In this outdoor game, learners role play populations linked in a food chain.
Fly a Leaf
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, windy day activity, learners "fly" and race leaves along a line to discover which types of leaves catch the most wind. Which leaves are the best fliers? Why?
Sticklers
Source Institutions
In this outdoor simulation game, learners search for pretend animals called "sticklers" to determine and map where they live (habitat) and how spread out they are in that area (distribution).
Bugs, Worms & Others
Source Institutions
In this creative outdoor activity, learners invent populations of make-believe organisms and then investigate real populations living in the activity site.
Hopper Herding
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and game, learners roundup a "herd" of hopping insects and find out how many different kinds or species are in their herd.
Mission: Control!
Source Institutions
In this activity and game, learners will train to improve balance and spatial awareness by performing throwing and catching techniques on one foot.
