4 Week Unit Plan - Antonelli

Unit Title: Finding your exercise Name: Kyle Allen

Content Area: Physical Education Grade Level: 8th
CA Content Standard(s)/Common Core Standard(s):

. 3.1 Assess the components of health-related physical fitness (muscle strength, muscle endurance, aerobic capacity, flexibility, and body composition) by using a
scientifically based health-related physical fitness assessment.

. 3.2 Refine individual personal physical fitness goals for each of the five components of health- related physical fitness, using research-based criteria.

. 3.3 Plan and implement a two-week personal physical fitness plan in collaboration with the teacher.

. 4.4 Identify and apply basic principles in weight/resistance training and safety practices.

. 4.5 Explain the effects of nutrition and participation in physical activity on weight control, self-concept, and physical performance.

. 4.6 Explain the different types of conditioning for different physical activities.

Big Ideas:

Importance of finding a workout regimen that you can consistently implement: Students will learn a wide variety of different workouts. After learning different avenues
for exercise, students will create a 2 week workout program that fits their needs and is sustainable

Differentiating between Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise: Understanding the difference between both Aerobic and Anaerobic exercise can help students/individuals
process the difference between strength and endurance and how both are important for an active lifestyle

Group Work: Being able to work productively in a group is not only important in matters of school but society as a whole. Once an individual can contribute successfully into
a group setting, they can properly function in society

Essential Questions:
 How does a person’s heart rate increase as physical activity increases?
 What’s the difference between Anaerobic and Aerobic Exercise?
 How can working in groups help solve problems?
 

Unit Goals and Objectives:

Each student will:
 Analyze the differences between Aerobic and Anaerobic physical activities

 Collaborate with others to research, analyze, and report on how different exercises can be beneficial for your health

 Analyze individual contributions throughout a group work setting

 Create a 2 week personal fitness plan that includes both yoga and weight resistance exercises

Unit Summary:
What are the benefit of an active lifestyle? As most people know, being consistently active can help contribute to a healthier lifestyle. Although most people understand that
being active is healthier, most don’t understand why or how they can properly reach that platform.

The end goal of this unit is to create a 4 week personal fitness plan that includes both Aerobic and Anaerobic exercises. The 4 week plan needs to include both weight
resistance & yoga & aerobic (running/hiking) exercises.

Students in this unit will learn the ability to track their physical movements while understanding that certain movements and sports have wide ranging effects on the body.
Students will also be developing the ability to work cooperatively with other students to develop a sense of community and cohesion.

Assessment Plan:
Entry Level Formative: Summative:

Guided Notes during a Prezi presentation on
Aerobic and Anaerobic exercise
Complete Corresponding exercise worksheet while
students learn resistance exercise equipment in
gym
Complete yoga poses based off the cards provided.
Students will be evaluated by partners to
correct/enhance ability to perform poses correctly.
2 week exercise plan that differentiates between
aerobic and anaerobic exercises. Students will
create a 4 week exercise plan that includes a variety
of yoga, resistance, and aerobic (running/hiking)
exercises that fits them. Allowing students to create
something that they can stick to.

Lesson 1
Student Learning Objective:
Demonstrate an
understanding between
Aerobic and Anaerobic
exercise
Lesson 2 Weight Training
Student Learning Objective:
This lesson plan will
teach students about
weight training in
physical education
classes. They will
learn about the major
muscle groups to
train and related
safety, and even
participate in some
actual beneficial
exercises.
Acceptable Evidence:
Students can identify what
type of activities fall under
Aerobic exercise and what
activities fall under Anaerobic
exercise
Acceptable Evidence:
 Explain some of
the terms
associated with
weight training
and safety
 Identify some of
the major
muscles of the
human body
 Properly execute
several actual
weight training
Instructional Strategies: Lesson Activities:
☐ Communication This lesson will serve as an introduction to what the difference between
☒ Collection Aerobic and Anaerobic exercise is. Students will follow along a presentation
☐ Collaboration that will be conducted in an outdoor classroom setting.
☒ Presentation
☐ Organization Guided Notes (Formative):
☐ Interaction This part of the unit is a formative assessment for students understanding of
what Aerobic and Anaerobic exercise is. Students will log on to the teachers
website and follow along a Prezi presentation on Aerobic vs Anaerobic
exercise.
https://prezi.com/r50ffnn3jc5_/aerobic-vs-anaerobic/
Students will then start to analyze the difference between Aerobic and
Anaerobic exercise VIA the guided notes worksheet that will be attached
accompanied by the presentation.
Prepare for Summative Assessment:
Students will need to understand the difference between Aerobic and
Anaerobic exercise because for their summative assessment they will be
creating a heart rate roadmap of their Amazing Race activity. As they are
going through the Amazing Race – They will track their heart rate monitors.
When they create the roadmap of the activities, they will explain why their
heart rate was elevated and if it was an aerobic and anaerobic exercise.
Instructional Strategies: Lesson Activities:
☒ Communication
☒ Collection  Inform your students they are going to be participating in
☒ Collaboration
a competition to learn some of the muscles of the human
☐ Presentation body they will be training.
☐ Organization
☐ Interaction
 Divide your students into pairs.
 Hand out two preprinted worksheets, one with the
following 12 muscles of the human body, and one with
the 12 matching body parts, but in mixed order.
1) Lattisimus dorsi (lats) - side of middle back
2) Trapezius (traps) - upper back and neck

Lesson 3
Student Learning Objective:
Students will be able to
perform multiple yoga poses
3) Deltoid (delts) - shoulders
exercises 4) Hamstrings (hams) - back of leg
5) Quadriceps (quads) - thighs
6) Gastrocnemius - calf top muscle
7) Soleus - calf bottom muscle
8) Biceps - front of upper arm
9) Triceps - back of upper arm
10) Sartorius – long, thin thigh muscle
11) Pectoralis (pecs) – Chest
12) Rhomboids – Upper back
 After students correctly identify that corresponding
machine with the muscle group that is being exercised.
They will learn how to correctly use the machine from the
instructions that are on all exercise machines.
 Once students begin to complete the required worksheet,
they can move on to other machines that are not listed
on the worksheet.
Acceptable Evidence Instructional Strategies: Lesson Activities:
Students will be able to ☒ Communication

☒ Presentation performing each exercise that is displayed on the cards.
☐ Organization
☐ Interaction Fun Salutation Yoga can increase both strength and flexibility. Today, we’ll do
that using a series of poses that flow from one to another called a salutation
or salute. Salutations are often repeated several times during a yoga routine.
The salutation we’ll use is called the Fun Salutation or a salute to fun. Fun

Lesson 4
Student Learning Objective:
Students will be creating a 2
week exercise log that
differentiates between
aerobic & anaerobic exercise
Acceptable Evidence
Students will create a 2 week
plan that includes yoga,
resistance, and aerobic
exercises that allows students
to create a routine that is
possible for them to adhere to
Salutation flow is located on Yoga Content Cards. Demonstrate and describe 1
pose at a time in the order they are listed. Then, put multiple moves together
in the sequence. Allow students time to practice and experiment with the
poses and flow Continue as time permits. Review and cover remaining
salutation poses each session.
Additional Poses • Practice poses in addition to those in the Fun Salutation.
Add new poses as students master the Fun Salutation.
Cues Breathe Deep – Long, deep breaths help you relax, reduce stress, and
focus. Stay Balanced – Keep the body and mind balanced during poses. Stretch
& Inhale– Inhale slowly through the nostrils as you stretch or extend. Fold &
Exhale” – Exhale slowly through the nostrils as you contract or fold.
Think About - Do you feel more relaxed after completing the Fun Salutation?
Why/why not?
