Soccer
Source Institutions
In this math activity (Page 12 of the Play Ball! PDF), learners play a game of "soccer" and analyze the results of the game.
Ball Bounce Experiment
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the properties of different types of balls.
Basketball
Source Institutions
In this math activity (Page 14 of the Play Ball! PDF), learners play a game of "basketball" and analyze the results of the game.
Exercise and Memory
Source Institutions
This activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory) is a full inquiry investigation into the effects of exercise on short term memory.
Pace-Off!
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners use non-standard measurement (paces) to find the distance from one point to another. Learners practice estimating and measuring distances .
Bouncing Balloons
Source Institutions
In this sports-themed engineering activity, learners create super bouncy balls out of balloons. Learners brainstorm, test their designs, and share results.
Workin' It Out
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how to stay fit the fun way. Learners participate in three physical activities.
Parabola Basketball
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.
Pedal Power
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners examine bicycle mechanics and gear ratios. Learners determine which gears will help them bike a set course in the shortest amount of time.
Jump for the Moon
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will train to increase bone strength and to improve heart and other muscle endurance by performing jump training with a rope, both while stationary and moving.
Space Stations: Beans in Space
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners perform 20 arm curls with cans that simulate the weight of beans on Earth versus the weights of the same number of beans on the Moon and in space.
Double Dutch Distractions
Source Institutions
This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch) is a full inquiry investigation into whether hearing or seeing has a bigger effect on jump rope performance.
Relative Speed of Dinosaurs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners interpret three trackways and use measurements and a formula to infer the relative speed of dinosaurs.
Jump Like a Frog
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners jump and measure how far they can jump on different surfaces using different jumping techniques.
How Many In a Minute
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will keep track of how much they can do in one minute. Instructors can pick something everyone will do for a minute, such as jumping up and down or drawing stars.
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.
Neural Network Signals
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.
Heart and Lungs
Source Institutions
In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their breathing and pulse rates, and learn how these measurements are affected by physical activity.
Your Energy Needs
Source Institutions
In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 8 of PDF), learners estimate average daily baseline energy (Calorie) needs and energy needs for different levels of activity.
