In this activity, learners investigate and compare the rate of drying in different conditions.

In this family or group inquiry activity, learners use their senses to explore a local forest or woodland.

In this activity, learners build a sled kite that models a type of airfoil called a parawing.

In this math activity, learners use non-standard measurement (paces) to find the distance from one point to another. Learners practice estimating and measuring distances .

In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

In this activity (p.6-10 of PDF), learners use different methods for hunting minibeasts (bugs). Learners can either make traps or simply look for minibeasts under stones and logs.

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 activity, learners explore how and why rainbows form by creating rainbows in a variety of ways using simple materials. Learners create rainbows indoors and outdoors.

In this math activity, learners jump and measure how far they can jump on different surfaces using different jumping techniques.

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.

In this activity, learners use a simple trick of perspective to dress friends in tiny cutout clothing. Learners make tiny pants out of card stock and tape them to the end of a stick.

In this activity, learners investigate parallax, a method used to measure distances to stars and planets in the solar system.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners use common materials to construct a rain gauge and measure daily, monthly, and yearly rainfall.

In this activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.

In this math lesson, learners explore tessellations through literature, music, writing, and art activities.

In this activity, learners use an astrolabe to measure the altitude of objects. Learners will first practice taking measurements by measuring the altitude of trees and buildings.

In this meteorological activity, learners get to build their very own anemometer (instrument for measuring wind speed) using a paper cup.

This is an activity about discovering the colors and beauty of nature. Learners will spend time outdoors, matching paint chip samples, colored paper, or colors of clothing to those found in nature.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.
