Reaction Time
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore reaction time and challenge themselves to improve their coordination. Do you want to move faster? Catch that ball that you never seem to see in time?

String Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work together to make polygons (many-sided shapes) with string. Learners sit on the floor and hold onto a piece of string slid between their thumbs and index fingers.

Balancing Stick
Source Institutions
In this quick and simple activity, learners explore how the distribution of the mass of an object determines the position of its center of gravity, its angular momentum, and your ability to balance it

Inertia
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of inertia by attempting to run and stop quickly.

Four of the States of Matter
Source Institutions
This kinesthetic science demonstration introduces learners to four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

Fitness Factor
Source Institutions
In this online activity, learners partner up to complete several physical exercises and assess their starting fitness level.

Strike 'em Down & Add 'em Up!
Source Institutions
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.
Wheel of Fitness
Source Institutions
In this fun activity for any size group, early elementary learners complete physical challenges while playing a game. Learners add new challenges to the "wheel of fitness" that they want to try.

Supersize That Dinosaur
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most. Then, learners estimate the size of a Triceratops and T.

Reflections
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a game and use pattern blocks to explore mirror images and reflection.

Helicopters
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will observe how air interacts with a paper helicopter. Learners will test different variables of weight, size, and shape.

Jumpin' the Gap
Source Institutions
In this simulation of synapses, learners act out communication at the neural level by behaving as pre-synaptic vesicles, neurotransmitters, post-synaptic receptors, secondary messengers and re-uptake
Sock Garden
Source Institutions
In this activity (located in the middle of the page), learners start a garden by planting their socks!

Look Mom, No Wings!
Source Institutions
In this activity about flight, learners explore how high they can jump. Learners dip their finger in ink or dirt, then jump as high as they can and mark paper attached to the wall.
Building Houses: Build a Cardboard Tube House
Source Institutions
Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

How Active Are You?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore what is and is not active play and how it contributes to a healthy body and mind. Making active play a routine part of every day is a key concept of the experience.

Bouncing Balls
Source Institutions
When baseball was in its infancy, the ball had plenty of bounce. Today's baseball may not seem to have bounce to it at all; if you drop a ball on the field it won't bounce back.

Circulatory System Skit: Act out the Flow of Blood
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners act out the flow of blood in the human body! A great way to get learners up and moving while learning about the circulatory system.

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

Solving Playground Network Problems
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use cooperation and logical thinking to find solutions to network problems on the playground.
