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

In this activity, learners investigate circulation and measure their own your heartbeat. A heart rate, or pulse, is the number of times the heart beats per minute.

This is an activity which will allow learners to gain an understanding of lemur behavior through observation and role play.

In this activity, learners listen to a story and tell a story of their own as they learn about the importance of elders in Native American cultures.

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

In this outdoor, freshwater activity, learners explore the behavior and food preferences of crawdads (or crabs) by "fishing" for them with various baits.

This activity (on page 2) explores how sensing is part of robotics. Learners try tying their shoes with different constraints.

In this outdoor, night activity, learners track nocturnal animals' footprints, droppings and other signs of their presence.

In this activity about gravity (page eight of the pdf), learners will very simply explore how gravity affects objects using balls and toys.

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 engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

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 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.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

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

Make a copy of the first stethoscope with only a cardboard tube! René Laennec invented the first stethoscope in 1819 using an actual paper tube!

In this activity, learners discover how hard their hearts work to pump blood.

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 will explore the physics of liquids and gas by playing with both! Learners of any age use their own breath to move drops of water across a smooth wax paper surface.
