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.

Combination Directions and Degrees

This past week we began our discussion on combining the cardinal directions such as NW, SW, etc. We would ask the students to run to the southwest corner, etc. We would also tell the students to run to the center of the field, turn 90 degrees and then continue to the side they were facing. In our directions when the students were playing baseball we would ask them to turn so many degrees to the right or left. We also asked the students to identify the right angles they see out on the field such as right angle, obtuse and acute angle.
