In this activity (25th on the page) about learning and memory, learners explore a training method that animal trainers employ called "shaping." Working in pairs, learners will attempt to "shape" each

In this outdoor activity linking human health to the environment, learners use their pulse rates as a measure of the effort expended in walking on different slopes.

During this interactive "survival" game, students learn about the importance of camouflage and how it helps animals to blend into their surroundings, as either predator or prey.

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.

An outdoor scavenger hunt helps learners consider the theme of "What Is Life?" Learners explore what living organisms are, including how organisms meet basic needs of food, shelter and water to surviv

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 (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

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

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

Learners participate in a variety of activities modeling different disabilities.

In this activity, learners survey living organisms near where they live or go to school, and create a local field guide.
