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.

Working in teams of four, learners build tetrahedral kites following specific instructions and using specific materials.

Learners follow a three-step process to start their own rock collection.

In this activity, learners experiment with creating various types of bubble solutions and testing which ingredients form longer-lasting bubbles.

In this inquiry-based lesson, learners measure the biomass of trees, calculate the carbon stored by the trees, and use this information to create recommendations about using trees for carbon sequestra

In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

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 .

Before there were clocks, people used shadows to tell time. In this outdoor activity, learners will discover how to tell time using only a compass, a pencil, a handy printout, and a sunny day.
