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

In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.

Learners will explore the concept of angular distance, and investigate why the moon appears to be the same size as the sun during a solar eclipse, despite the sun being much larger.

In this math lesson, learners construct box-and-whisker plots to analyze and compare data sets. Learners investigate whether or not long-legged people run faster than short-legged people.

In this activity, learners use tonic water to detect ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun and explore the concept of fluorescence.

In this activity, learners use binoculars (or a telescope) to identify and track sunspots. If using binoculars, learners need a pair that can be secured on a tripod.

In this outdoor activity, learners work in pairs using their senses—especially touch—to learn more about individual trees.

In this outdoor activity, learners release a portion of a lawn from human control—no mowing, no watering, no weeding, no pest control—and then investigate the changes that result over several weeks.

In this activity, one person acts as a human robot while another acts as their developer by programming their actions.

In this activity, learners make their own pinhole viewer in order to measure the size of the sun.

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs) is a full inquiry investigation into decomposition.

In this activity, young learners will make their own flower seed nursery in an egg carton.

In this outdoor activity, learners turn the fun of feeding wild birds into an investigation of bird behavior.

In this outdoor, nighttime activity, learners gather around a brightly lit, white surface and study the behavior of nocturnal animals attracted to the light, particularly night fliers.

In this math activity, learners collect, organize, and analyze a set of data related to types of animals in the temperate forest.

This is a fun activity about the power of the Sun and the importance of using sunscreen to protect your sensitive skin from its rays.

In this activity, learners will create a home for animal friends in their backyard using recycled materials. Some material suggestions include: pine straw and twigs.

In this activity, learners use a hand-made protractor to measure angles they find in playground equipment.

In this activity, some learners pretend to be wolves, while the other learners pretend to be the prey of the wolf. The goal of the simulation is to have the wolves work together to survive.

Learners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air.
