Title:** Roam the Halls for Fitness
 * __Lesson Plan 3__
 * Subject:** Physical Education
 * Grade Level:** 6-12
 * This lesson plan incorporates pedometers in physical education. The students roam the halls of the school and try to get in as many steps as possibly can during class. They then check their pedometers to see how many steps they actually took. I would probably change this lesson by using the track, or having the students put on the pedometers during some type of activity like frisbee golf.
