In this lesson, students will use an existing compost pile to make observations that will help them better understand the decomposition process.

Students know that there are recognizable patterns on earth. To demonstrate the rotation of earth, students will track the shadows on a sundial throughout the day.

Students will observe and record the changes caused by weathering and erosion from moving water have on limestone.

STUDENT ACTIVITY - 3rd - TX/GAThis is a distance- learning lesson students can complete at home. Students will explore the outdoors for examples of organisms having their needs met and will be given an event that might cause that organism to thrive, move, or perish.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.

In this lesson, students will conduct experiments simulating erosion by pouring water on various surfaces in the outdoor classroom.

Students will read the provided complex text about erosion and use the outdoor space to verify or deny the content of the text in the real-world setting.

STUDENT ACTIVITY - K -- VAThis is a distance-learning lesson students can complete at home.Students will identify 5 senses and use them to make observations of the natural world.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 learn about the ways garden organisms depend on each other in their environment for survival. Animals eat plants and/or other animals for food this will show students how energy is transferred from the sun to living things.

Students will observe organisms in their ecosystem and describe the flow of energy in food webs

Students will explore the garden for different forms of energy including mechanical, electrical, light, thermal and sound energy.

Students will use knowledge of aquatic and terrestrial environments to identify fossils and predict environmental changes over time.

Students will explore the components of soil and make a model of sedimentary rock layers and fossil fuels.

Students will go on a scavenger hunt around the garden demonstrating and recording ways that different objects can move.

In this lesson, students will observe various aspects of the outdoor classroom to experience the way birds, insects, and objects interact with gravity.

In this lesson, students will observe, compare different objects, and be able to identify the properties of specific materials.

Students will experiment with different areas of the garden that absorb heat from the sun the best.

Students will experiment with different areas of the garden that absorb heat from the sun the best.

Students will explore the outdoor classroom for natural examples of heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation.
