The Great Skittle Experiment was so exciting! It was a fun way to teach the boys & girls at JHH about the energy (fuel) or calories that we get from the food we eat. I know there were some disappointed faces in class when after all that walking you only got one Skittle! Some food, especially candy, is packed with calories! Think about that before you eat all of that Halloween candy!
The most important lesson from that day was to balance what you eat with what you do! Always remember that physical activity or exercise should be an important part of your day. Even if it means you are “just playing on the playground”!
I did that activity and some students in my class walked alot and only got one skittel. I thought that was not fair. But I did like it .

I enjoy the experiment but I didn't think that was enough candy and by the way I didn't lay off the halloween candy

I didnt like the skittle experment. It was fun to walk but only for 5 skittles. I think you should give us more skittles. If you did you would make us happy.

It was fun when we walked up and down the basketball walk way.We earned skittles for walking up and down the walking area.

I did that activity and some of the kids in my class walked a lot for more skittles. We only got 3 skittles for walking acooss the black top 15 times. It wasn't fair, before she gave us the skittles I said,"I better get a lot of skittles for walking that much.

Exercize is very important and calories are too. Alot of candy could make you sick and I can understand why they got 1 skittle. But at least they got exercize and thats what counts.

I was part of that ''experiment'' thats why I know how some people feel ,but that is a good way to exercise even if that means getting only five Skittles.

I like the experiment we did. We were tired but the skittle gave us the energy back. That day seems like it was yesterday.
