In this three/four-day lesson, learners calculate perimeters and areas and draw the castle plan to scale.

In this activity, learners explore how to stay fit the fun way. Learners participate in three physical activities.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

In this laboratory experiment, learners explore how effectively different sunscreens protect yeast cells from damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

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

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.

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 outdoor, sunny day activity, learners experiment with paper leaf models to discover how some desert plants conserve water.

In this outdoor activity, learners use artificial bees and paper models of flowers to find out how bees transfer pollen from one flower to another.

In this outdoor activity and observation game, learners hunt for a variety of textures, colors, odors and evidence of organisms in the activity site.

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 activity, learners discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.

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.

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.

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch) is a full inquiry investigation into whether hearing or seeing has a bigger effect on jump rope performance.

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

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Biodiversity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into biodiversity.

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