STUDENT ACTIVITY - 2nd Grade: This is a distance-learning lesson students can complete at home.Students will conduct a simple experiment to see if plants need sunlight and water to grow.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 play the Animal Parents & Babies Matching Game to study the similarities and differences between babies (offspring) and their parents. They explore their outdoor space in search of plant offspring and parents and share their findings with peers. As a culminating activity, students create additional Parents & Babies index cards and life cycle posters to further investigate and compare the life cycles of various animal and plant species.

Explorarás al aire libre en busca de evidencia de la vida animal e imaginando qué tipos de animales podrían vivir y sobrevivir en esa área.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.

In this engaging unit, students will design and plant a square-foot garden that will be their central tool. Through the growing season, they will explore nutrition content in their everyday lives and see how it relates to what they are growing.

Students explore the school garden to make observations and inferences about which plants thrive in the current environment and which plants may decline or even perish. Students then generate scenario cards to describe situations where plants or humans thrive, decline, or perish. By constructing and monitoring an “Earth System in a Bottle”, students investigate which environmental conditions are needed for plants to thrive.

STUDENT ACTIVITY - 3rd - GA/TXThis is a distance-learning lesson students can complete at home.Students will explore the outdoors for examples of different plant structures and determine how plants use these structures to meet their needs.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 explore the garden/outdoor classroom for examples of different plant structures and determine how plants use these structures to meet their needs.

Students play the Up, Down, and All-Around game in the outdoor space describing the relative positions of a chosen object or organism. Back in the classroom, students open a sugar snap pea, count the number of peas in the pod, and describe the relative position of the peas. Using the three-dimensional Peas in a Pod paper cut-out model, students practice counting and describing the positions of the peas in the peapod. Students then explore the motion of objects using a crafted paper model whirly bird representing a maple seed pod.Finally, studentscreate and enact a skit with partners to show and describe the relative positions of humans (themselves) and go back outdoors to move through a sidewalk chalk obstacle course to show their knowledge of various motions.

Students in this lesson will learn about, connect and apply the use of area to a real-world problem—creating a planting guide for the garden. Students will determine the square footage of the garden and use this information, along with a planting chart to create their own plan.

In this lesson, students will take temperature readings in the outdoor classroom, compare them to data from a graph, and discuss the numerical differences between the readings and the data.

In this lesson, students will build conceptual understanding and fluency in using area and perimeter by measuring and calculating the dimensions of vegetable beds.

How can we use area and multiplication to measure the amount of space an area has?Students will explore the concepts of multiplication and area by measuring rectangular planting beds in the garden.
