This activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory) is a full inquiry investigation into the effects of exercise on short term memory.

Do Your Own Dig
Source Institutions
In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

Helicopter Twirl

Learners cut and fold a paper helicopter from the template in this PDF. They practice twirling the helicopter and observe what happens as they modify their tries.

Coral, Carbon Dioxide and Calcification
Source Institutions
In this group activity, learners act out key stages of the "ocean carbon cycle" (also known as the "carbonate buffer system") through motions, rearranging blocks and team tasks.

Scent Tracking
Source Institutions
In this wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.

Heart and Lungs
Source Institutions
In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their breathing and pulse rates, and learn how these measurements are affected by physical activity.

Pathways with Friends
Source Institutions
Directed by instructional cards, learners kinesthetically model cell communication by acting as components in a cell signaling pathway.

Statistics: Steppin' Out
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners construct box-and-whisker plots to analyze and compare data sets. Learners investigate whether or not long-legged people run faster than short-legged people.

Acting Out
Source Institutions
This activity (on pages 21-32 of PDF) has learners act out several classic brain teasers.

Digestive System: A Kinesthetic Lesson
Source Institutions
