Teamwork has to improve.
The teams were pretty evenly matched and both improved after playing several times.
The teacher made suggestions when she saw that changes had to be made; the students were asked to talk together and develop strategies once they understood how the game worked.
Some children were more aggressive than others. As often happens, some students are more competitive.
LESSON PLAN (See blue for my changes to game)
MOVING TARGET
Goal: Students throw balls to hit a moving target over their goal line.
Instructional Objectives:
Students must 1) Follow directions; 2) Play with other team members together defining and accomplishing a joint strategy; 3) Improving aiming of ball toward target; and 4) Gaining a strong aerobic workout.
Materials:
Small rubber balls
Large plastic crate
Lesson:
The game is played in the indoor gym. There is a goal line set up at each end of the gym. For younger children, the plastic...
Students are divided into two teams and each team is placed at opposite ends of the gym. Each team faces its goal across the gym floor.
The crate is placed in the center of the gym and each player gets a ball. When the children hear the words "hit target," they all throw their balls at the crate. The idea is for students to use the force of the thrown balls to move the crate over their goal-line. After a child throws a ball, he/she may go anywhere to retrieve another one that has been thrown. It does not need not be the ball the child threw. The team receives a point each time it gets the crate into its goal area.
Strategy
Student strategy: In order to move the crate forward in the same direction, the players have to work together. They also have to hurry to get a ball after each throw, or fall way behind the other team. This will not help their team. Standing around watching teammates or the crate moving away will not help either. In order to make sure that all students play and one is not more competitive than another, all students on the same team have to throw their balls at the same time. They all pick up the balls and throw them together again. This way, they have to work together and strategize together.
Observation:
All students should continually throw and retrieve balls. The crate should move back and forth toward one goal and then another if both teams are working together.
Computers Are an Underutilized Resource for High School Physical Education Teachers Computers have become an integral part of the high school learning environment, beginning in the early 1990s. They provide a vast variety of resources to help enhance student education through presentation of material in a variety of media and act as an enhancement to teacher lessons. They can sometimes free teachers from routine tasks, allowing them to bring greater depth
Title: The title includes the precise identification of the problem; it contains the independent and dependent variables and target population. It must be clear, concise, and fully descriptive of the study. The recommended length is 12 words. The Difference Between Fourth Grade Boys and Girls Attitudes Toward Physical Education Abstract/Overview: The abstract summarizes the contents of the manuscript. The abstract should begin by broadly summarizing the problem and importance of the study
NI observed a fourth grade classroom during a science lesson. Bob is an intelligent ten-year-old child, but he has a difficult time paying attention to his teacher. He likes to get a lot of attention and when he gets bored he turns his focus to other destructive matters, such as throwing pencils up into the ceiling. Throwing pencils at the ceiling has gotten him in trouble many times. The teacher
The study demonstrated that regular physical fitness activities dramatically decreased some of the behaviors responsible for poor academic performance. The study also reiterated some of the prior literature such as those previously discussed in this review pertaining to the direct physiological changes associated with physical activity that correspond to increased cognitive learning and academic performance as well. The results of the study indicated that regular exercise was associated with dramatically
It is now recognized that individuals learn in different ways -- they perceive and process information in various ways. The learning styles theory suggests that the way that children acquire information has more to do with whether the educational experience is slanted toward their specific style of learning than their intelligence. The foundation of the learning styles methodology is based in the classification of psychological types. The research demonstrates that,

Currently, nothing is being done to address the issue as social promotion which is supported by state education policies that benefit from children being passed to the next grade level. This benefit consists essentially of state and federal funding (Meier et al., 2004, p.8). Special education teachers are tasked
