In this activity about center of gravity (page 23 of PDF), learners investigate how the body adjusts to the force of gravity to remain balanced.

In this activity, learners will explore how maps can provide information about a place and help us find our way from one location to another.

In this three part activity, learners explore and experiment with shadows to learn about the Sun's relative motion in the sky.

In this outdoor game, learners role play populations linked in a food chain.

In this activity, learners will discover how to make butter from scratch. One optional tips includes adding marbles to speed up the process.

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?

This is an activity about music, movement, and math. Learners will start a rhythm pattern with 2, 3, or 4 beats. For instance, tap your foot, jump, clap, repeat.

In this activity, learners track their movements with jumping and leaping graphs.

In this health activity, learners create a device so that they not only feel their heartbeat, but also see it, using a straw and some clay.

In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

In this outdoor activity, learners become beachcombers as they walk on a sandy beach in search of evidence of life.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners explore an aquatic site such as a pond, lake, stream, river or seashore to find and investigate plants and animals that live in water.

In this activity, learners discover how exercise helps keep the body healthy. Learners increase their heart rates by running and understand how running fast versus walking affects their pulse rates.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this activity (located on page 4 of PDF), learners gain insight into the actual size of dinosaurs and practice making estimations and measurements.

Build time sense into the schedule by asking learners to predict what can happen in a certain amount of time: We have 20 minutes before outdoor time. What can you get done?

This activity includes several games about animal sounds. Using their sense of hearing and communicating with various kinds of noisemakers, learners role-play predator and prey.

In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.

In this activity, learners play an active version of freeze tag based on predator/prey relationships.
