Sample Activities:

 

·        IT'S A SMALL WORLD - Explain the concept of aerobic endurance—the heart, lungs, and muscles can perform exercise over a long period of time. Students participate in regularly scheduled activities designed to increase their endurance, performing a specified locomotor movement (e.g., run, walk, skip) over a measured pathway. Gradually increase the duration of the activity over time. As part of the activity, students choose to “travel” to a popular resort area or city, compute the mileage necessary to reach the destination, and log the number of miles of locomotor movement attained. Students display their journey on a large classroom map.
