In this activity (2nd on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which foot is more dominant. In other words, are they right-footed or left-footed?

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cave Swallows Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into bird behaviors.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Baseball Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into how "bounciness" relates to the distance a ball will fly when hit off a batting tee.

Discover the wind's direction using bubbles, a map and a keen eye. Learners blow bubbles and note their general direction on a map, taking readings from different points around a building.

In this astronomy activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will examine the effects of gravity on a person’s pulse and explore how gravity can differ from planet to planet.

In this activity (1st on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which of their hands is more dominant. In other words, are they right-handed or left-handed?

In this activity, learners walk the sides and interior angles of various polygons drawn on the playground. As they do so, learners practice rotating clockwise 180° and 360°.

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of different types of balls.

In this activity, learners work in teams to study the observation skills essential to scientific research.

In this family or group inquiry activity, learners use their senses to explore a local forest or woodland.

In this activity, learners investigate circulation and measure their own your heartbeat. A heart rate, or pulse, is the number of times the heart beats per minute.

This is an activity which will allow learners to gain an understanding of lemur behavior through observation and role play.

In this activity, learners listen to a story and tell a story of their own as they learn about the importance of elders in Native American cultures.

This activity (on page 2) explores how sensing is part of robotics. Learners try tying their shoes with different constraints.

In this outdoor, night activity, learners track nocturnal animals' footprints, droppings and other signs of their presence.

In this activity about gravity (page eight of the pdf), learners will very simply explore how gravity affects objects using balls and toys.

In this activity, learners build a sled kite that models a type of airfoil called a parawing.

In this lesson that includes hands-on activities and demonstrations, learners discover that it is the tilt of the Earth's axis (not its proximity to the sun) that causes the seasons.

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, freshwater activity, learners explore the behavior and food preferences of crawdads (or crabs) by "fishing" for them with various baits.
