Assessment Criteria and Method of Evaluation

Standards Movement and physical activity Movement and physical activity Assessment Criteria They investigate different components of fitness, how these vary between activities and how they contribute to the wellbeing of people at different stages of their lives. Students learn to set personal physical activity and/or fitness goals, develop an activity and/or fitness program and evaluate its success. Evidence Observation of appropriate activity for given fitness component. Participates in and understands other activities and the fitness component each are addressing. Note the activity that each group developed. Did they work cooperatively throughout the task?

Warm up: Modified Interval Running 1. 2. 3. Students are to go at the speed dictated by the cones: Yellow Cone = run Red Cone = sprint Blue Cone = walk/jog

15 mins

Students in 4 groups, one group at each corner of the running area Complete task as a group, all moving together at the same time Students are to work through the inquiry questions relating to the activity

Set up running area Allocate students to groups Alter the running area as required Create discussion at end of activity and CFU Introduce task (but only briefly). REMEMBER student inquiry is the focus! Supervise and facilitate students in their inquiry learning Allow them to explore the activities Create discussion about the various circuit stations, how they differ from each other, what fitness areas are of focus etc.
