Hold a Hill
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.
Bean Bugs
Source Institutions
In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.
Flocking for Food
Source Institutions
In this outdoor beach activity, learners use a variety of "beaks" (such as trowels, spoons or sticks) to hunt for organisms that shore birds might eat.
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.
Feeding Facilitation: A Lesson in Evolution and Sociobiology
Source Institutions
This is an outdoor activity designed to demonstrate evolution of feeding behavior in flocking, schooling or herding animals that maximizes allocation of food resources and enhances survival.
Kid Moon: Splat!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model ancient lunar impacts using water balloons.
Chances Are: OH NO! Look Out Below for a UFO
Source Institutions
In this math lesson (on Page 13), learners predict and simulate the likelihood of an event occurring.
Base Station Walk-Back
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will train to improve lung, heart, and other muscle endurance as they walk a progressive, measured distance.
Earth Walk
Source Institutions
In this hands-on and feet-on excursion, learners take a science walk to visualize the planet's immense size and numerous structures, without the usual scale and ratio dimensions found in most textbook
Seas in Motion
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, beach activity, learners use tennis balls, water balloons and other simple devices to investigate the movement of waves and currents off a sandy beach.
The Parachuting Egg
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.
Wolf Limiting Factors
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate a wolf and its habitat and observe what happens when the limiting factors change over time.
FlyBy Math: Distance-Rate-Time Problems in Air Traffic Control
Source Institutions
In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.
OBIS Oil Spill
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners simulate an oil spill using popcorn (both oil and popcorn float on water), and estimate the spill's impact on the environment.
Making An Impact!
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.
Mission: Control!
Source Institutions
In this activity and game, learners will train to improve balance and spatial awareness by performing throwing and catching techniques on one foot.
Speedy Shelter
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners invent an emergency shelter that can fit a person and is sturdy and quick to build.
Population Study Game: Oh, Deer!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model a population of deer and see how the number of deer changes over time.
Trail Impact Study
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.
Cool It
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.
