Set Induction:
What do you put in your car to make it go? How do you give
your body enough energy to do physical activity?
(eating/food!)
Learnable Piece:
1
-Think about the types of PA you do and what you eat. The
Minute more calories you burn while doing a PA, the more calories
you need to refuel.
-If you are doing a vigorous PA, you might eat a heavier meal
after.
-If you are doing a light or moderate PA, you might eat a
lighter meal or snack.
-What is an example of a moderate PA and a food you might
eat to refuel? Vigorous PA and a food to refuel?
Presentation of New Material/Directions:
1
-Today, we are going to do a relay race where you pair a food
Minute with a physical activity. You are going to race down to the
cone, grab a food to refuel, and race back to your team.
-Your team needs to decide on (1) Light PA, (2) Moderate, (2)
Vigorous and you will do this PA as you race.
Transition: Count off by 4's

1's and 3's go to your cones, 2's and 4's go to your cone.
