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.

Measuring The Perimeter Of The Running Course

  This week we continued to pull small groups to measure and mark the sprint track and perimeter of long run route. The kids had to use the 100 foot tape measure, signs and cones to measure and mark the course. We varied the course on different days to keep them guessing. For homework we had them add up the distance they ran on each day. This was given as homework/ticket to play. They were given their money stamps if the work was completed correctly and on time.
   For the regular class we had the kids diagram and the label the basketball and soccer courts in their journal. The teacher labeled everything with either chalk on the ground or signs on a cone. 
   For the skills portion the kids set up a 2 person defense and went against a 4 person offense. The defense could not venture outside of the lane. This gave the offense an opportunity to pass and shoot without that much pressure.
   To extend the lesson to home we asked the kids to name the next opponent of the New Orleans Pelicans.
