Students kick a drop punt. In this physical education skills lesson, students participate in a series of skill activities fostering eye-foot coordination. Students practice kicking a drop punt to the coach, a partner and a target.

Students demonstrate locomotor skills by practicing a proper throwing technique. In this throwing skills lesson, students perform dribbling skills and throwing skills using a basketball. The purpose of this lesson is to address the skill...

Learners practice in refining their locomotor skills and developing their understanding of pathways and basic map reading skills.

In this bones and joints worksheet, students build a model of an arm with sticks, balls, and caps to see how bones and joints work. Students also answer 4 questions.

Students record data of using a track system with variables and how those variables affect a ball used in the track. In this track lesson plan, students design their own track in groups, test the ball's rates of speed, and record their...

Young scholars participate in an instant activity as they enter the gym. They work with a parachute, moving it using different motions. They use their wrists, to move the parachute while moving in a circle, and play a game of Cat and...

Students practice agility moves timing various locomotor skills (slide shuffle, sprinting, backwards jogging, fast walking), over a star pattern in pairs.

Students investigate rhyming words. In this word study lesson, students are introduced to rhyming words and then sort out the words that rhyme and group them. A worksheet is provided.

Why are homographs so tricky? They have the same spelling, but they have different meanings. After completing this reading passage with the correct words, look at each homograph listed and encourage your class members to find the...

In this 4-H food science instructional activity, learners examine how food works in the body, find out about food preservation methods, and investigate careers in the food industry. They complete a word search, practice food photography,...
