Phase+2

Determining Relative Advantage

There is a growing epidemic of obesity in our society both with the children and adults and we want to address the important impact of physical fitness and having an active lifestyle. Our students will be researching and creating their own fitness program and learning the importance of an active lifestyle.

Students will research the 4 components of fitness; 1) muscular strength 2) muscular endurance 3) cardiovascular endurance 4) flexibility

Along with the components of fitness the students will also research the FIT Principle; Frequency, Intensity, and Time.

Technology will be used to allow the students to research the necessary information to create their fitness program. Websites Students Could Use: [|www.fitness.com] [|www.hooah4health.com] [|www.education.com] [|www.mypyramid.gov]

Technology, via PowerPoint, will also be used to create their presentation to the class on the different activities and exercises they have chosen to do.

Students will set a personal goal that they will work towards achieving by the end of the unit.

The impact technology will have on the students is that they will learn to research proper websites to create their presentations. When presenting each student will get a better knowledge of why physical activity is important in their everyday lives.
