In this wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.

In this activity, learners make a photographic image—without a camera!

In this activity, learners will take a step back and learn the history of the land they live on, and the people who used to live on it.

In this outdoor activity, learners will gather natural materials outside that they think a dinosaur would want to lay its eggs in.
