Using Pedometers

We have introduced pedometers for grades 2-5. Our peds only show number of steps. We showed the students how to attach the peds to either their hip or their shoe. We then logged the steps after warm ups, after running drills and after they completed their sport play. For the upper grades, 4th and 5th, we will compare number of steps after 6 minutes of each- warm ups, running and sport playing to compare/contrast which type of exercise yields more steps. In the coming weeks we will convert steps to feet and feet to miles. We will compare how many steps a student takes compared with a classroom teacher, office worker and PE teacher.
