Daily Physical Activity for Science Class

My school does this already for our junior science class. Sometimes we wish some students would meet up with some of the wildlife when they wander off by themselves after we tell them not to.

Science & Technology Pro-D

I always sign up for technology pro-d if there is nothing science related being offered that day and I am always disappointed, but there usually isn't anything else that is interesting to me.

DPA stands for Daily Physical Activity.  An initiative to help prevent obesity in our students.  Whatever happened to playing outside on the playground after school?
