In this design challenge, learners will use computational thinking to design their own board game.

In this activity, some learners pretend to be wolves, while the other learners pretend to be the prey of the wolf. The goal of the simulation is to have the wolves work together to survive.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

In this activity, "space cadets" (learners) use writing and sequencing skills in addition to directional words/ordered pairs to guide Buzz Lightyear (from the movie "Toy Story") through a grid to reac

In this outdoor activity and fun race, learners first find the most common type of tree in a forest site.

In this activity, learners will construct a measuring device (snake "string") to improve their observation skills.

In this activity, learners with explore the gases present in air. They will then build their own wind cannons and challenge family and friends to a friendly competition.

Learners make a counting/estimating jar to exchange with friends or bring home.

In this activity, learners will play a coin toss game where the highest total wins. Combine coin recognition, addition, and probability with a game learners can play on their own.

This is a deceptively simple game to teach strategy, planning, and pattern analysis. In this game, learners take turns removing tokens from a board, and develop a plan to take the last piece.

In this activity, learners use a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, and will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining.

In this activity, learners model, on a human-sized board game, how changes in water temperature may affect fish distributions and, ultimately, fisheries.

In this activity, learners will experiment with the physics of flight by making a gliding contraption with strange looking wings. The activity explores flight with connections to the natural world.

In this game, learners match descriptions of marine debris (shoes, batteries, paper towels, etc.) to images of these items.

In this quick activity (page 2 of PDF), learners will play a game using their observation and listening skills, interpreting clues from each other to deduce their secret animal identity.

This activity (on pages 21-32 of PDF) has learners act out several classic brain teasers.

In this activity, learners try to figure out who has their matching rock type by reading a description of their rock (no talking!).

In this outdoor game, learners simulate a herd of deer trying to survive in an area called the "home range." Learners explore the concept of "carrying capacity"—what size population of an organism can

In this game, learners cross off or color bingo squares in response to questions about their traits.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity illustrates the value of supernovae in the universe.
