STUDENT ACTIVITY -- 5th -- NCThis is a distance-learning lesson students can complete at home.Students will explore the outdoors for natural examples of heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation.This activity was created by Out Teach (out-teach.org), a nonprofit providing outdoor experiential learning to transform Science education for students in under-served communities.

Students will take temperature readings and collect anecdotal evidence to determine how different materials absorb the sun's heat.

Students brainstorm the negative impacts humans have on the earth and learn to call this term the carbon or ecological footprint. They then explore their outdoor space to identify both the negative and positive impacts humans have on the environment. Next, positive actions humans can take to make the planet sustainable are researched so that students can generate a list of things kids can do to sustain the earth. Students make and present posters of the things they will personally commit to doing. As an optional, but impactful activity, a tree is planted in the outdoor space, marking the commitment to continue to reduce ecological footprints and increasing ecological handprint, leading to a more sustainable planet.

Students measure the length of a pea pod and a carrot in non-standard vegetable units (a pea seed) and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of measuring using non-standard measures. Students then practice measuring length of classroom objects to develop the skills of measurement accuracy and precision. In the outdoor garden, students measure three different fruits, vegetables, and/or herbs that are growing there. They convert their measurements between different units of measure in the metric system. For example: The tomato is 14 cm long or 140 mm long. Finally, students research the health benefits of the fruits and vegetables they measured and taste these healthy foods if they wish. 

Students will explore trees in their outdoor classroom, learn about the important functions that trees serve and devise ways to conserve trees by changing human behaviors: recycling, etc.

Students will read the complex text on pest damage and use the outdoor space to verify or deny the content of the text in the real-world setting.

STUDENT ACTIVITY -- 3rd -- GA/TX This is a distance- learning lesson students can complete at home. Students will read the complex text on pest damage and use the outdoor space to verify or deny the content of the text in the real-world setting.This activity was created by Out Teach (out-teach.org), a nonprofit providing outdoor experiential learning to transform Science education for students in under-served communities.

Some living things and their offspring have traits that are similar, but not exactly alike. Students will identify the traits of different plants in the garden.

STUDENT ACTIVITY – 1st – NGSSThis is a distance-learning lesson students can complete at home.Some living things and their offspring have traits that are similar, but not exactly alike. Students will identify the traits of plants in the outdoors and predict what the traits of their offspring would be.This activity was created by Out Teach (out-teach.org), a nonprofit providing outdoor experiential learning to transform Science education for students in under-served communities. .

Some living things and their offspring have traits that are similar, but not exactly alike. Students will identify the traits of different plants in the garden.

Students will explore the garden/outdoor classroom for examples of different plant structures and determine how plants use these structures to meet their needs.

STUDENT ACTIVITY - 5th - NCThis is a distance-learning lesson students can complete at home.The student will explore the concept of interdependence, the idea that organisms in an ecosystem rely on one another.This activity was created by Out Teach (out-teach.org), a nonprofit providing outdoor experiential learning to transform Science education for students in under-served communities.

STUDENT ACTIVITY - 5th -- TXThis is a distance-learning lesson students can complete at home. The student will investigate how living and non- living elements interact with one another in an ecosystem by observing interactions in the outdoor space.This activity was created by Out Teach (out-teach.org), a nonprofit providing outdoor experiential learning to transform Science education for students in under-served communities.

Students investigate how living and non- living elements interact with one another in an ecosystem by observing interactions in the garden.

STUDENT ACTIVITY – 1st – TXThis is a distance-learning lesson students can complete at home.Students will go on a scavenger hunt in the outdoor space and explain how living things they observe rely on other living and non-living things in the environment to survive.This activity was created by Out Teach (out-teach.org), a nonprofit providing outdoor experiential learning to transform Science education for students in under-served communities. .

Students will use knowledge of ecosystems and living and non-living things to classify objects they find outdoors and create simple food chains.

Students study line graphs to develop a Seed Planting Guide for the outdoor garden that considers environmental factors and climate conditions for their location. Students then transfer knowledge and skills regarding line graphs as they construct their own line graphs to track individual daily and weekly health behaviors. These graphs are beneficial in interpreting data about the success of, and needed adjustments to, their healthy living plan.

Students explore their outdoor space for information about what is growing in their garden. Depending on the season and region, teacher may use a different fruit or vegetable to discuss. They then research fruits and vegetables growing in the garden and report the health benefits of these foods.

Esta es una lección para el aprendizaje a distancia que los alumnos pueden completar en casa.Los estudiantes observarán, clasificarán y examinarán las formas y texturas de las hojas. Individualmente, en grupos y en relación con toda la planta.Esta actividad fue creada por Out Teach (out-teach.org), una organización sin fines de lucro que proporciona aprendizaje experiencial al aire libre, con el objetivo de transformar la educación de las ciencias para los estudiantes en comunidades más desatendidas.
