STUDENT ACTIVITY - 4th - TXThis is a distance-learning lesson students can complete at home. The student will compare and contrast a variety of mixtures, including solutions, that they can make outdoors. 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 determine that for an object to be a living thing it must grow and reproduce, and it must have its basic needs met.

In this lesson the students will explore the outdoor classroom looking for examples of natural resources used to make useful products with a special emphasis on how rocks and soil (clay) are used.

Students will explore the garden environment for examples of organisms having their needs met and will be given an event that might cause that organism to thrive, move or perish.

What does 100 look like? Sound like? Feel like? In this video from Curious George, explore the many ways to measure 100 things. ***Access to Teacher's Domain content now requires free login to PBS Learning Media. ***Access to Teacher's Domain content now requires free login to PBS Learning Media.

Students will observe, measure, sort, and examine (shapes and textures) of leaves individually, in groups, and in relationship to the entire plant.

In this lesson the students will create mixtures and note the physical properties of each of the ingredients within.

In this lesson students will use their knowledge of decimals to solve problems in a real- world setting.

In this lesson students will use knowledge of the needs of living things to examine their outdoor classroom for these factors that help plants grow.

STUDENT ACTIVITY -- 3rd -- NCThis is a distance-learning lesson students can complete at home.Students will pull weeds to explore plant structures that promote survival. 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 life cycles to collect evidence of the stages of life a plant goes through.

In this activity, students will create shadows and using this evidence they will write a scientific claim using evidence.

Students will determine a rule for classifying outdoor objects based on physical properties of matter.

Students will determine a rule for classifying outdoor objects based on physicalproperties of matter.

Students will make it a regular practice to record weather data using thermometers, wind vanes and rain gauges.

Students will use their knowledge of earth's natural resources to identify resources in the outdoor classroom and classify these resources as either renewable or non-renewable.

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

Students will prepare the vegetable beds for planting exploring how simple and compound machines work.
