Scene in the Setting
In this Grab and Go activity, students create a short outdoor film scene where the natural environment drives mood, action, or symbolism. Learners experiment with visual storytelling, camera movement, and one-take filming to integrate the setting as an essential part of the story.

Mission: Muster Point!
In this Grab and Go activity, students practice safely reaching a designated muster point through fun obstacle courses and emergency drills. They build personal responsibility, teamwork, and understanding of safety procedures while navigating the path calmly and efficiently.

Co-Creating Outdoor Expectations
In this Grab and Go activity, students design a formal Outdoor Learning Charter that outlines roles, rights, and responsibilities for outdoor behavior. Through collaborative workshops, peer review, and reflection, they develop leadership, critical thinking, and community-building skills.

Co-Creating Outdoor Expectations
In this Grab and Go activity, students collaboratively create a Code of Conduct for outdoor learning to promote respect, accountability, and positive mental health. Through discussion, team drafting, and role-play, they apply and reflect on the code during real outdoor experiences.

Co-Creating Outdoor Expectations
In this Grab and Go activity, students collaborate to develop a set of outdoor behavior expectations to promote safety and respect. They brainstorm, vote, and create a class contract, then reflect on and apply their agreements during outdoor activities.

Variables Affecting Rocket Flight
In this Grab and Go activity, students investigate how changes to rocket design affect flight performance. They collect data on altitude and velocity, analyze the impact of modifications, and relate findings to real-world spacecraft design.
- Grade 8
Aging Trees with Growth Factors
In this Grab and Go activity, students measure tree diameters and use growth factors to estimate tree ages safely. They analyze their data to compare hypotheses and discuss factors affecting tree growth rates.
- Grade 6
Making a Map for Outdoor Adventures
In this Grab and Go activity, students create and annotate maps of outdoor spaces to support navigation and scientific observation. They use technology to capture, edit, and label areas for data collection and exploration.
- Grade 7
Heart Rate vs. Body Position
In this Grab and Go activity, students investigate how different body positions and levels of physical activity affect heart rate. Working in pairs, they measure their pulse in various positions (lying down, sitting, standing) and after activities of increasing intensity (walking, jogging, running). Students record their data, create a graph, analyze trends, and discuss how heart rate responds to activity and posture, connecting results to healthy lifestyle choices.
- Grade 6
Fire Smart Wildfire Study
In this Grab and Go activity, students create and compare models of a fire smart yard versus a non–fire smart yard to observe how materials influence wildfire behavior. They collect temperature and observational data, analyze the outcomes, and discuss strategies to reduce wildfire risks in real-world settings.
- Grade 6
Create and Observe the Albedo Effect
In this Grab and Go activity, students investigate how surface color affects snow melting by comparing clean snow with snow sprinkled with ashes. They collect observational data over time, analyze the results, and discuss the impact of albedo in real-world environmental contexts.
- Grade 7
Observation Journal
In this Grab and Go activity, students record sensory observations outdoors, noting what they see, hear, touch, and smell. They practice distinguishing observations from inferences and can track changes over time, optionally creating scientific drawings to support their entries.
