Abstract	To provide teachers with some of the many activities that can be carried on "just beyond the classroom," the booklet presents plans for more than 40 outdoor education activities, all emphasizing multidisciplinary, inquiry approach to learning. The school grounds offer optimum conditions for initiating studies in the out-of-doors. While every school day of the year should be favorable for some activity, the amount of time spent in the out-of-doors is determined by the particular activity chosen and the individual needs and situations of the student. Students are encouraged to use all of their senses and observe carefully in order to arrive at conclusions. The teacher's role is to direct this inquiry, finding the "teachable moment." The multidisciplinary approach to learning incorporates many academic subjects: mathematics, science, social studies, art, ecology, English, etc. Plans for each activity include a description, list of required materials, step-by-step procedures, discussion topics, and additional follow-up activities. Suggested activities range from sensory nature strolls, scavenger hunts, animal tracks, sand study, earthworms, and root ecology to exploring a sidewalk wilderness, rainfall measurement, curb weed and seed study, bark rubbings, bird watching, shadow study, and air pollution testing.
