Interdisciplinary Teaching- This blog was started as a way of using journals and games in physical education class to enhance and connect the learning in math, language arts and science. Now that I am a science teacher I am finding ways to use physical activity to connect the learning in physical science.

Using Push up and Sit up Information To Construct a Graph

This activity is used for grades 2-5. Students make a list of each day that we did push ups and sit ups. They also put down the total of push ups and sit ups. It looks like this:
October 5 60 pu 80 su.
October 7 62 pu 75 su
October 15 70 pu 85 su
The students then construct a graph with dates across the bottom and number or repititions across the right margin. The students construct a bar graph or a line graph using the information. They are asked questions that analyze the chart information.
