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 .

This is an activity about prediction. How far can you hop in 5 seconds? Could you make it to the door? Across the room? Everyone lines up and tries it.

In this Cyberchase activity, learners use math to explore how parts of the body are proportional.

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

In this activity, learners will keep track of how much they can do in one minute. Instructors can pick something everyone will do for a minute, such as jumping up and down or drawing stars.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

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

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 math activity, learners predict how many pom-poms they can toss inside a circle from three feet away. Use this activity to help learners explore probability.

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 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.

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?

In this activity about physical stress (page 28 of PDF), learners discover that muscles and bones need to work to stay strong.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners conduct experiments to explore where dragonflies and damselflies perch or rest, and how the flies change behavior in reaction to other flies or fly decoys

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.
