Physical Education is a sequential educational program that teaches students how to: understand and participate in physical activities that can help them develop positive attitudes toward maintaining a healthy lifestyle; practice the lifetime skills of cooperation and successful interaction with other students; and understand and improve their health-related fitness and motor skills. Students will use pedometers, heart rate monitors, and fitness assessment tools to gain a general knowledge of how and why they need to monitor daily activity. From the knowledge they acquire, students will create a personal fitness profile.
