Suggested Lesson Plans

We have broken the subject down into tow types of lesson the first being theory (knowledge) and the second being practical (physical). each class would run for an hour or an hour an hour and a half based on the students capabilities.
 * Suggested Task Schedule:**

In this lesson the teacher would introduce the topic to the class. That would include: - An overview of what we need to achieve over the term to understand health. - Introduce the assignment to the class covering any question the student may have. - Discuss their thoughts on health at present. Resources needed - A whiteboard and whiteboard marker. - The assignment __sheet__ with marking key attached (so student know how they will be marked. - The resource sheet to give to student for assignment. - A large piece of butchers paper to write all the class's ideas down and are then kept for comparison later in the term.
 * Lesson 1: THEORY**


 * PRACTICAL**

Although this is a physical lesson in order for them to achieve what we need them to they need to have an understanding of the theory behind it. So the teacher would take 10 to 15 minutes to explain the BMI (Body Mass Index) what it does and how it works, to the students. During the class - Explain the BMI to student in it theory form “the science behind it” - Show them the BMI chart and do an example to show how it works (height weight = weight __range__?) - Sort the student into their groups of 3 or 4 for the assignment. - Get the students to calculate their BMI Resources needed - Whiteboard and a whiteboard marker - Computer and projector to show the BMI chart __image__ - Set of Scales - Tape measure - The template sheet for student to keep a record of their data in their group.

This week is about grasping the Idea of the subject and looking at how it will __progress__ over the term. It will include - Briefly going over the task again to get a better understanding. - Looking and analyzing the data from the BMI lesson. - Giving the students a journal to keep track of their group’s data (each student is given one so they all have a record). - Theory begins looking at health as a whole, class discussion on all the different sub topics included in health the student can think of. - Select the four that are the focus Lifestyle, BMI, nutrition and fitness. - Show a short video on living a healthy lifestyle Resources needed - Computer and projector for the BMI image - Journals for each student - Whiteboard marker and Whiteboard - __Internet access__ to show video with projector.
 * Lesson 2: THEORY**
 * PRACTICAL**

So as we did the BMI last week we will discuss how a balance of a healthy life style affects people differently. - Look at 2 people one athlete and one regular person have the same weight and height but may have different BMI results as the athlete has more muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. - Look at how different types of exercise may not work for some but may get results for others, because everyone is different. - We will be looking at different types of fitness testing, beep test, stretch test, weights, sprints and jump test. - Teacher demonstrates/explains how each works and what they effectively measure. - It is then up to the students to decide in their groups which aspects of fitness they want to test in their groups for the assignment, Resources needed - Computer and Projector for BMI picture - The CD of the beep test (interval timer) - Access to the school gym for weights, stopwatch, measurement on the wall and area for beep test. - Access to oval for sprints

This week the first thing we are going to look at is fitness and a healthy lifestyle. This will be mainly class discussion written onto butcher’s paper. - Give the student a question sheet and ask them to fill it out honestly. - Then discuss what we think the healthy lifestyle includes, and how to create a healthy lifestyle. - Get the student in their group to find the differences between a healthy lifestyle and the answers on their question sheet. - Make sure the students are keeping track of their data. - HOMEWORK- keep a food diary over the next 3 days over everything you eat for snacks, meals and drinks. Resources needed - Questionnaire sheet for each student - Butcher’s paper (this is so the class can look at what they thought at first and what they know at the end compare and contrast their own thinking)
 * Lesson 3: THEORY**
 * PRACTICAL**

This lesson will be divided into 2 parts - The first half being where the student’s are given the opportunity to finish getting their data from last week. - And the second being talking about fitness - What is fitness? - How do we become “fit”? - Why is fitness important? - And look at making fitness fun!!! - Show the class a video on what they are doing in American schools to make fitness and nutrition fun. Resources needed - Access to the gym for all the weights, equipment that they used last week. - Access to oval fro sprints - Internet access with projector and computer to show video. - Whiteboard and whiteboard marker.

Today’s lesson is about nutrition. Nutrition is being a balance healthy diet what is good for you. - Look at the student’s food diaries and see how they are going. - Talk about the food pyramid, and do a spot quiz at the end. - Look at a good diet Vs a bad diet. - How can we improve our diet? - Why is it important to have a balanced diet? - Is a healthy diet a balanced diet? - Listen to a clip from an online source and see if you get all the questions correct. Resources needed - Internet access with projection from computer - Whiteboard and whiteboard marker - Butchers paper to keep a record of the class discussion. - Sound projection so they can hear the sound clip to answer questions from. Get the student’s into their groups get them moving. - Let them create a game that is fun and will contribute to their fitness (something they can add to their presentation about how to engage in fitness that is fun) - Make sure they are all writing notes in their journal to keep a record. Resourced needed - Access to school oval for space to create the game - And Access to equipment eg. Balls, weights, timers, cones, skipping ropes, bats, bases, climbing frames etc. - Make sure they are using their journal to record all their ideas.
 * Lesson 4: THEORY**
 * PRACTICAL**

This lesson is for the students to ask any question the may have on any part of the assignment that they are finding difficult. Getting the students to create their presentation however they want to do it. This may be a powerpoint presentation, they may want to make a webpage, they might do a role play, informative comedy sketch or a poster/pamphlet. This lesson is all about getting their final results after all they have learnt. - Taking the after results for all the test they partook in at the beginning of the term. - Recording all information in the journal. Resources needed - The CD of the beep test (interval timer) - Access to the school gym for weights, stopwatch, measurement on the wall and area for beep test. - Access to oval for sprints.
 * Lesson 5: THEORY**
 * PRACTICAL **

This lesson is final touches so getting the student’s into their groups to collate all their information over the last six weeks to present to the class in week 7.
 * Lesson 6: THEORY**
 * PRACTICAL**

This lesson will be optional for the students as the presentation is close they can AS A GROUP choose to participate in a fun game of sport or finish their presentation.

Lesson 7: **CLASS PRESENTATION**
