Explorer Scavenger Hunt Assignment

I really enjoyed the scavenger hunt because it involved the use of technology and gave our team hints with riddles instead of just telling us where the next location was. I would use this lesson in the future depending on the age limit of my students and the environment. The scavenger hunt that we had involved hunting for different buildings around campus so that means walking through parking lots, crossing streets, and not being supervised. However, a modified scavenger hunt will definitely be incorporated in my future lesson plans.

This activity has potential for an active heart rate (HR) depending on the students’ motivation and enthusiasm. If the student is running to their next destination then their HR is going to be higher than the student who doesn't excel themselves to the next location.

Raising your HR has benefits of
¨Decreases risk of cardiovascular disease
¨Increase in heart rate
¨Increases blood flow
¨Burns more fat
¨Increase endurance
¨Helps your joints
¨Strengthens your muscles
¨Gets you in shape

Remember, WORK HARD and TEACH ON!
