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

Combine math and exercise with this activity. Learners count how many times in a row they can skip rope or throw and catch a ball.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch), learners will stand twelve feet apart swinging a rope at the slowest tempo possible while someone uses a stopwatch to record

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 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.

In this activity learners compare the bounciness of warm and cold racquetballs to see if temperature makes a difference in how well they bounce.

In this online activity, learners measure their pulse rates and investigate how their pulses change when they engage in different activities.

This trick from Exploratorium physicist Paul Doherty lets you add together the bounces of two balls and send one ball flying.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and construct a trophy for prize-winning sports equipment.

Learners will determine their respiratory rate and explore the factors that affect breathing rate by filling out and using the Respiratory Chart provided in the lesson.

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.

This is an activity about reaction times. Just how quickly must an NHL goalie respond to save a shot, and how does your reaction time compare?

In this math activity, learners earn "money" by completing simple tasks. Learners complete as many "jobs" as possible in a set amount of time.

During this activity, learners take part in a variety of tasks which involve moving and balancing different body parts.

In this activity, learners take their own pulse and explore how heart rate is affected by various activities.

In this movement and measurement activity, learners jump as far as they can three times, and compare their longest jump to the longest jump of their friends, classmates and/or family members.

How much can you do in one minute? In this activity, learners estimate how many times a partner can complete a task (like writing their name or jumping jacks) in one minute.

This is a great activity about human energy production. Learners will work out with a clothespin to investigate why hockey players jump on a stationary bike after an intense game.

This is an activity about prediction. How far can you hop in 5 seconds? Could you make it to the door? Across the room? Everyone lines up and tries it.

In this Cyberchase activity, learners use numbers to create CyberOlympic teams with the fastest times.
