In this arts and crafts activity about animals and animal characteristics, learners will design animal hats and role-play as animals.

Learners trace, cut out and fly a boomerang, outdoors or in a large indoor space.

In this activity, learners "dance" (move back and forth at varying speeds) by reading a graph. This is a kinesthetic way to help learners interpret and understand how motion is graphed.

Learners cut and fold a paper helicopter from the template in this PDF. They practice twirling the helicopter and observe what happens as they modify their tries.

This activity is on page 3 (continued on page 2) of the pdf, part of the Simple Machines Discovery Box. In this fun activity, learners "create" a complex machine by simulating the parts in action.

This activity models the necessary balance of creating power and cleaning up its associated waste. Learners participate in a game where they attempt to move forward toward a goal.

In this activity, reuse two-liter bottles to create bowling pins. Learners practice math skills and develop a concept of verifying answers, while bowling and keeping score.

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.

In this activity, learners use cooperation and logical thinking to find solutions to network problems on the playground.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners use their bodies to measure a room. Instead of inches or feet, how many kids does it take to measure the length of a room?

In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

This is a great activity for investigating the basics of lift and drag as they pertain to flight. Learners will discover how to avoid "taking a nosedive" by building their own paper airplane.

In this hands-on activity, children create their own kites that can fly indoors. Learners are exposed to basic concepts of gravity and air resistance.

In this activity (on page 2), one person "programs" the other like a robot to move through a space, trying to get them to avoid obstacles and reach a goal.

This activity (on pages 21-32 of PDF) has learners act out several classic brain teasers.

In this math activity, learners play a game and identify patterns with fun moves and sounds. Discover how dancing and signing involve patterns.

In this challenge, learners make a helium balloon hover in one spot and then move it through an obstacle course using air currents.

In this geometry activity, learners explore networks painted on playgrounds, such as a four square court, and draw their own.

In this activity, learners work in teams to build and test paper airplanes. Learners try to fly their airplanes directly on the runway and earn points for accuracy.
