In this math lesson, learners use a variety of manipulatives to explore spatial relationships of squares and their transformations.

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

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

In this activity, learners walk the sides and interior angles of various polygons drawn on the playground. As they do so, learners practice rotating clockwise 180° and 360°.

In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.

In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.

In this activity, learners explore how and why rainbows form by creating rainbows in a variety of ways using simple materials. Learners create rainbows indoors and outdoors.

In this activity, learners discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.

In this math lesson, learners estimate distances between landmarks and use a map and scales to determine the actual distances.

In this design-based lesson, learners study flood dynamics as they modify a riverbed with blockages or levees to simulate real-world scenarios.

In this math lesson, learners explore tessellations through literature, music, writing, and art activities.

In this activity, learners use an astrolabe to measure the altitude of objects. Learners will first practice taking measurements by measuring the altitude of trees and buildings.

This is an activity about discovering the colors and beauty of nature. Learners will spend time outdoors, matching paint chip samples, colored paper, or colors of clothing to those found in nature.

In this set of outdoor games, learners increase their awareness of the outdoor environment by going on a scavenger hunt and an out-of-place hunt.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of their shadow from the Sun and compare it three to four months later.

In this math activity, learners observe and sketch cracking patterns in pavement.

In this activity, learners explore how polarizing sunglasses can help diminish road glare.

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.

In this math lesson, learners participate in a variety of activities that give them experience in recognizing, describing, and extending repeating and arithmetic patterns.
