NASPE Standard(s): 3-Participates regularly in physical activity. 4-Achieves and maintains a health-enhancing level of
physical fitness
Essential Questions (from GLEs):
1.
Why should you maintain a healthy, safe and active lifestyle? What exercises improve your fitness? What are
the benefits of fitness?
Content – What will be learned?
Learning Objectives/Big Ideas: (What do students
need to know and do?)
Students will be able to:
 Calculate heart rate and explain its purpose
 Describe physiological and psychological
results of exercise
 Set personal goals
 Assess personal level of fitness
Lessons/Learning Activities: (How will I structure the
unit)
L1: Pre-assessment, overview of unit project
circuit, 2 laps
L2: Heart rates- how to, purpose, log, circuit, 2 laps
L3: intensity- measure, identify, circuit, 3 laps
L4:pedometers, circuit, 3 laps
L5: journal assignment, pedometers, self
assessment, circuit 4 laps, review curl up
L6: review flexibility test, circuit, 4 laps with
pedometers
L7: flexibility test in circuit, 5 laps with
pedometers, review push up test
L8: circuit, push up test, 5 laps, review curl up test
L9: circuit, curl up test, 5 laps, review PACER test
L10: PACER test
Reflection/Next Steps:
Effective Teaching Strategies
Initiation:
 Establish Objectives/ Engage
learner
 Cueing
 Learning Environment:
Effort/Recognition
 Review prior learning
 Advance Organizers
Rigor – Degree of Difficulty
Bloom’s Taxonomy
 Create (design, construct, produce, invent, revise)
 Evaluate (hypothesize, critique, test, judge, monitor)
 Analyze (deconstruct, organize, structure, compare)
 Apply (use, implement)
 Understand (interpret, summarize, classifying, comparing)
 Remember (list, describe, identify, retrieve, name, locate)
Instruction:
 Comparing/Contrasting
 Classifying
 Note-taking

Cues: intensity: low-no
sweat, normal breath, talk or
sing. Moderate-sweat after
10 minutes, can talk but not
sign, heavier breath. Highsweat, cannot talk or sing,
heavy breath
Cues: muscles, mood
Cues: set to “0”, waist, no
shaking
