The science teacher investigates the relationship between resting heart rate taken the day before, versus mile time performances. In this case students must remember or be given their actually times. The social studies teacher presents a lesson on the history of the marathon. The reading teacher engages students in a reading lesson on physical fitness and the Surgeon General's Physical Activity Report. The day is promoted during the week leading up to the mile run section of the test.
Music is played at the beginning and during the running.
So far we have seen this program as a success.
