Introduction
Each grade level will participate according to their physical ability and specific area of classroom social studies lesson's.  This will be coordinated with each  classroom teacher.  This activity will promote sustained physical activity for more than 12 minutes and promote safe actions during physical activity.  Each grade level will race to the same city as predetermined by the classrooms teachers and the P.E. teacher.

 

Subject Physical Education
Topic :Aerobic Activity
Grade Level: 4/5th
Student Lesson name and URL: http://ctap295.ctaponline.org/~dscholl/student/

Standards Addressed
Fourth Grade
Physical Education: Focus on Sustained Aerobic Activity

(3)  THE STUDENT WILL ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN A HEALTH ENHANCING LEVEL OF PHYSICAL FITNESS.

  • 1.  Engage in appropriate activity that results in the development of muscular strength and endurance.
  • 2.  Maintain continuous aerobic activity for a specified time and activity (12-15 minutes).

(5)  THE STUDENT WILL DEMONSTRATE RESPONSIBLE PERSONAL BEHAVIOR WHILE PARTICIPATING IN MOVEMENT ACTIVITIES.

  • 3.  Act in a safe manner during physical activity.

 

Instructional Objective

  1. Students will be able to site facts and statistics of the city they are racing to and will  produce a webliography to demonstrate web search competence.  
  2. Students will be able to increase their endurance and aerobic capacity by decreasing the amount of time spent "out of zone" on their heart rate monitor. 
  3. Students will demonstrate safe physical activity practices by  not registering any careless or activity related injuries.
  4. By completing the "Target Heart Rate Zone" worksheet, students will be able to calculate their personal target heart zone.  After being guided through the use of the heart rate monitor each student will be able to identify how to successfully turn the monitor on and off, obtain their correct heart rate zone and problem solve ways to increase or decrease accordingly.


Student Activities


Insert brief summaries of your introductory, enabling, and culminating activities. Insert links to online resources in your text and insert links to activities on your student lesson web site.

Activities

  • Students will take a pre-unit test on stretching and fitness principles on the internet.
  • Students will perform a web search to their pre selected destination
    and provide factual information in a class report
  • Students will determine their target heart rate through a heart rate worksheet and an online calculator
  • Students will use their target heart rate information with a heart rate monitor, for optimum cardiovascular performance.
  • Students will complete a spread sheet that will assist them in figuring averages and total sums for daily/weekly mileage.

For more detail, your introductory activities should:

  • Get your students' attention.
  • Build excitement, interest, and/or curiosity.
  • Be relevant to your students.
  • Bestow confidence in the students that they will be able to successfully complete the unit.
  • Set the context for the study with an overview of what is going to happen. Tell them what they will be able to do or what they will know because of the instruction.
  • Actively involve all students in the introduction of the new material as specified in the standards.
  • Review relevant information and/or skills or stimulate your students' recall of prior learning.


Students will be given an overview of the Race lesson and determine where they are going.  

Students will complete the "Race to the City" unit  when one or more of the classes have reached their destination or at 4 weeks, which ever comes first.

The winning team will be any team that reaches their destination/ or whomever is closer at the end of the unit.  The winning team will be awarded a "party in their city", (one extra P.E. session of choice).

We will conclude with this: like the example lesson we have reviewed, your web-based lesson must:

  1. Focus upon a standard or set of related standards.
  2. Contain instructional objectives that are derived from the standard(s).
  3. Include a pre and post assesment covering the skills called for in the objectives.
  4. Include a description of a culminating activity that adequately covers the objectives.
  5. Include a performance-based rubric that assesses the culminating activity.
  6. Include a description of an introductory activity that stimulates student interest in the lesson.
  7. Include a descripton of at least one enabling activity that provides the skills to attain the standard.
  8. Include a description of at least one Web-based resources and teacher created materials that support the lesson.

Enabling Activity(ies)

Your learning activities should:

Students will need to be able to use a calculator
Know how to research items on the internet

  • Take into consideration the knowledge and skills students need before they tackle this lesson.
  • Relate to one or more specific standards.
  • Include the knowledge and the processes needed to attain each of the instructional objectives that relate to the standard.
  • Give the students the skills to successfully complete the culminating activity.
  • Guide all students' learning and demonstration of the necessary knowledge and skills in each of the standards you have identified for this lesson.
  • Build in guided student practice and review time.
  • Engage all students and promote active learning.
  • Make sure your approach is logically sequenced so the activities build on each other.
  • Introduce new information so that it is comfortably and reasonably challenging for your students.
  • Provide opportunities to monitor student progress and give feedback

Once this is determined students will calculate the distance to their city, next they will calculate their target heart rate.

Culminating Activity

Your culminating activities should:

  • Allow students to work independently of the teacher.
  • Demonstrate student learning in relation to all the standards covered in the unit.
  • Demonstrate knowledge to an extended audience (not just the classroom teacher).
  • Enhance retention and transfer of the content to other contexts.
  • Promote reflection on the content and bring closure to the unit.

Consider culminating activities that require students to:

  • Design a product, service, or system that meets an identified need.
  • Plan and organize an activity.
  • Produce a project in response to a client need.
  • Create and deliver presentations
