Discover the wind's direction using bubbles, a map and a keen eye. Learners blow bubbles and note their general direction on a map, taking readings from different points around a building.

In this activity, learners create their own constellations and star patterns and write a short, descriptive story explaining the significance of their star pattern/constellation.

In this activity, young learners will explore shapes, textures, and geometries using household materials.

In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

In this math lesson, learners use the setting of a flower-making fundraiser to explore a variety of patterns. Learners examine the patterns in a flower design made of triangles surrounding a square.

In this activity, learners investigate whether more people are squares or rectangles. People with similarly sized heights and arm spans are classified as squares.

Create beautiful spirals by drawing a straight line. This sounds crazy, but you can with a turntable (a record player or lazy susan), paper, and pen.

Combine math and exercise with this activity. Learners count how many times in a row they can skip rope or throw and catch a ball.

In this craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.

In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

Wheels aren't the only things that can "roll" objects that are placed on top of it. Make non-intuitive shapes from cutouts and a compass to demonstrate this.

This math challenge, played with two players or a whole group, engages your problem solving skills.

In this activity, learners examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.

In this activity, learners compete to be the first to win twenty counting pieces. First, learners draw patterns on only one side of four craft sticks.

This is a deceptively simple game to teach strategy, planning, and pattern analysis. In this game, learners take turns removing tokens from a board, and develop a plan to take the last piece.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

In this activity, learners will estimate how many seeds are in a fruit or vegetable, then count to find out. The result: mix estimation with healthy eating.

In this activity, learners investigate the reflective properties of light and mirrors as they make a kaleidoscope.

On the first night, I saw 5 stars in the desert. On the second night, I saw 10… What do you think I saw on the third night? Combine arts and crafts, literacy, and math by making a counting book.

In this activity, learners play a guessing game to explore classification.
