 * Geomathing - measure velocity and distance of things. How fast can you run? How far is it to__?
 * Geoscience - create a cache that asks the students to learn something about science. ie test water by a stream - leave testing materials in the cache.
 * Literature - create a cache with a journal and ask geocachers to add one line to a story in the journal. You could highlight famous people and places.
