Statistics: Steppin' Out
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners construct box-and-whisker plots to analyze and compare data sets. Learners investigate whether or not long-legged people run faster than short-legged people.
Ocean Echolocation
Source Institutions
Use echolocation to find others and experience how whales’ senses have adapted to suit their environment. In pairs, learners are blindfolded and use containers filled with marbles to find each other.
Vestibular-Ocular Reflex
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will perform various investigations to understand the vestibular-ocular reflex and learn about the importance of visual cues in maintaining balance.
Running on Empty
Source Institutions
In this exercise and nutrition activity, learners will explore how food is the fuel that powers them. They will create a chart to figure out how many calories they burn during recess.
The Web of Life
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.
Wolf Survival
Source Institutions
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.
Tree Trunk Diameter to Branch Height Relationship
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity), learners will identify a group of deciduous trees to study.
Acting Out
Source Institutions
This activity (on pages 21-32 of PDF) has learners act out several classic brain teasers.
Digestive System: A Kinesthetic Lesson
Source Institutions
In this simulation, learners act out each digestive function of the organs, tissues, and cells in the digestive tract.
Get Moving! Active Play Indoors and Outdoors
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the importance of active play.
Buoyant Bubbles
Source Institutions
What keeps bubbles and other things, like airplanes, floating or flying in the air?
Respiration Relay
Source Institutions
In this physical activity, groups of learners act as blood cells traveling through the circulatory system.
Inertia
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of inertia by attempting to run and stop quickly.
Gravity and Muscles
Source Institutions
In this activity about center of gravity (page 23 of PDF), learners investigate how the body adjusts to the force of gravity to remain balanced.
Risk Continuum
Source Institutions
This activity is a whole-group kinesthetic demonstration that shows learners what it means to be in a "risk group" for developing heart disease based on family history and genetics.
Butter Up
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will discover how to make butter from scratch. One optional tips includes adding marbles to speed up the process.
Movin' and Groovin'
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners play a game and identify patterns with fun moves and sounds. Discover how dancing and signing involve patterns.
Beachcombing
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners become beachcombers as they walk on a sandy beach in search of evidence of life.
Space Stations: Measure Up!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in pairs to measure each other's ankles with lengths of string.
Tug-of-War
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War) is a full inquiry investigation into tug-of-war physics. Groups of learners will test two tug-of-war strategies.
