Objective: Students will recognize the value of exercise for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression, and/or social interaction.
Activity:
- Start by counting how many stairs you will be climbing up and down every time (12 stairs=24)
- When you are finished you will calculate the total number of stairs you climbed
- Keep a piece of paper at the starting point (bottom of the mountain)
- Every time you make it to the bottom, place a tally on the paper
- Climb the stairs as often as you can (taking breaks as needed) for 15-20 minutes
- Count up all the tallies when you are finished and multiply that number by the number of stairs you calculated at the beginning
- Ex: 30 tallies x 24 stairs = 720 total stairs!
- If possible, take a video or pictures of the course and post them on twitter tagging @MPSRockwell or e-mail to Mr. Tevis!
Modifications:
- Try to climb the mountain even higher next time!
- Add an exercise every time you get to the top of the mountain
