Lesson plan must include the following: 1. Objectives/Learning outcomes The students will be able to Understand how to increase or decrease their average heart rate based upon the amount of physical activity each week and their dietary choices Demonstrate healthy and no healthy snacks and the effect on their heart rate Inform others about how dietary choices and heart rate are related through the results of their project Identify what you want the students to learn? The students will learn how the heart works as well as how heart rate and fitness are related 2. Materials or Equipment required: identify all the materials needed to conduct the lesson Heart Pump: wide mouth jar, balloons, skewer, two flexible straws, scissors, tub/pail, sponge, water Kidnetic Site Charts for each student 3. Procedures: provide step by step methodology that will be used to teach the lesson. Ideally anyone would be able to use this lesson plan to teach a class. See attached sheet 4. Class organization: circle, seated in desks, groups of 2-3, etc. Individual records of daily trials/activities Class will do the movement activity together in a large circle around the classroom each week 5. Evaluation: some type of assessment should be developed to assess student learning Class Discussion: o How do you feel (before and after) about your health? Do you think you progressed? Why is being healthy important? Would you continue this activity on your own? Students will also inform other students in their school about the project and why it was so important through a presentation on the morning announcements explaining what they did and how it made them feel before and after. 6. References or Resources needed: identify any references or resources used for the development of the lesson www.smm.org/heart/lessons/lesson5a.htm www.kidnetic.com/Kore/Fitness.aspx www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003399.htm 7. Modifications: What possible adaptations would you make for a differently abled student? Students with motion disabilities: have students perform exercises from Physical Therapy instead of those featured on Kidnetic if they can not perform one. Culture barrier- students who come from homes that are unable to provide better nutrition for students then the students would need to complete the program as well as they could or explain what could be done to make the program work better for them. Additional information may be added to the lesson plan as deemed necessary.
Procedure: 8 yr olds/3 rd grade Plan for the first day: 1. Demonstrate how the heart pumps using a healthy heart (water) and a non healthy heart (melted butter) a. www.smm.org/heart/lessons/lesson5a.htm 2. Take heart rate a. Record in provided chart b. Average rate for child 7-8 is 70-110 b/m c. Average well trained athlete is 40-60 b/m d. www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article.003399.htm 3. Be active with Kidnetic a. Make modifications if necessary i. i.e. Only move arms if unable to do jumping jacks b. www.kidnetic.com/Kore/Fitness.aspx 4. Take heart rate and record
Weekly for 6 weeks: *Have students keep track of outside activities and their heart rate as well as the foods they replaced for a healthy snack 1. Each Wednesday have students perform active movement(s) for 20 minutes a. i.e. 10 jumping jacks, 5 hops, 3 squats b. still have students record starting and stopping heart rate
Assessment: 1. Class Discussion a. How did it make you feel? Do you think you progressed? Why? Would you continue? Do you feel like you have a healthier heart? 2. Possible school announcement about the project
