Marathon Ideas for the Classroom
by Dr. Alice Wilder

For English Class:

Interview someone running in the marathon.

Follow their training and track their progress.

Get their stories; tell your own story.

Run an organized race and write about it.

Organize a race and plan it all!

 

For Science Class:
Nutrition Experiments

Create a food log: 1) Random/Normal day and then chart how you feel the next day doing a specific activity; 2) Eat high protein on a given day and then do and chart how you feel doing the same activity as #1;

Eat high Carbs on a given day and then do and chart how you feel doing the same activity as #1 and #2;

Eat a completely balanced diet and & then do and chart how you feel doing the same activity as #1 and #2. and #3

 

Physical Education:

Yoga in school could be such a positive influence on fitness and being in touch with your body and emotions. The idea of breathing and using that and posture/stretches as a tool for living is very beneficial.#
