Unit Title: Getting to Know Yourself Name: Shane Horan

Content Area: Physical Education Grade Level: 6th
CA Content Standard(s)/Common Core Standard(s):

C. S. S. 3.6 Monitor the intensity of one's heart rate during physical activity.
C. S. S. 4.1 Distinguish between effective and ineffective warm-up and cool-down techniques.
C. S. S. 4.2 Develop a one-day personal physical fitness plan specifying the intensity, time, and types of physical activities for each component of health-related
physical fitness.
C. S. S. 4.5 Explain methods of monitoring heart rate intensity

Big Ideas/Unit Goals:

How well do students understand their physical activity capability?
Can students distinguish between effective and noneffective warm ups and cool down?
Are students able to find their pulse, and count it accurately?
Do students understand the basic anatomy of a heart and its function?
Unit Summary:
In this lesson, students will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with their body and their capabilities. In the first lesson, students will understand
basic knowledge about the heart, and learn to take their own pulse. The second part of the lesson, students will explore different warm up and cool down
exercises and learn helpful techniques to maximize each activity. Lastly, putting it all together, students will create a fitness plan that is unique to their specific
capability by monitoring their heart rate during physical activity. By doing all these lessons, they will understand how to find a pulse, be able to understand
concepts of warming up and cooling down and be able to create a fitness plan that is best for them.

Assessment Plan:
Entry-Level: Brain Storm
For the entry-level assessment, I plan on doing a
brainstorm with my students. Here, I will put the
title "All about the Heart and Working Out." Then,
students will raise their hands and tell me
everything they know about the topic.
Formative:
Flashcards- I will have my students create
flashcards on an app. The flashcards will consist of
important things from the lecture. This way,
students can share flashcards with each other and
verbally quiz each other.
Quiz- This quiz contains content from the lecture
and the webercise worksheet. It consists of
multiple choice, fill in the blank, true/false, and
short answers.
Summative:
Project- Students will have to present a pamphlet
or a poster to persuade people to warm up and cool
down. Students will have to show knowledge of the
benefits of each. Also, I will require students to
come up with examples and pictures.
Poster- Students will present their exercise plan,
and also list how it will be beneficial to their heart
and body. They will need to tie in information from
the heart lecture, and the cool down and warm up
webercise.
 Venn Diagram- Students will create a Venn diagram
comparing cooling down and warming up. On one
side, students will list everything that they know
about warming up, and the other side for cooling
down. Then, in the middle they will list the
similarities, such as the benefits for the body.
Journal- Students will journal how they feel about
the exercise plan. They can journal if they feel
confident, confused, and if they need help with
ideas.

Lesson 1
Student Learning Objective:
The instructor provides
information about how the
heart works. Then, provide
two ways for students to
check and monitor heart
rate.
Lesson 2
Student Learning Objective:
The goal for this lesson is
for students to be aware of
what warm up and cool
down exercises are
effective or not effective.
Lesson 3
Student Learning Objective:
Students are able to create
one fitness plan that has at
least one activity per
health-related physical
fitness component.
Unit Resources:
Acceptable Evidence
(Assessments): Teacher
will have students record
their heart rate on a log.
The heart rate should fall in
a specific pulse range that
is appropriate for their age.
Acceptable Evidence:
Students should be able to
pick out two of each types
of exercise that is effective
and explain why.
Acceptable Evidence:
Students have created a
fitness plan that involves
one of each, warm up and
cool down strategy, as well
as activities correspond to
their appropriate heart rate
level.
Lesson Activities:
Teacher will show a slideshow that explains the function of the heart and defines what pulse is. The
slideshow will also explain how to find pulse. Then, while children are at rest, teacher will have them find
their heart beat in two different places, so they have an opportunity to find what is easiest for them. One
spot being carotid artery, and the radial artery. Students will then attempt to count the number of beats
while the teacher times it for one minute. They will share with a partner, and then compare it to the
normative data I provide for their age. For 6th grade, it would be between 60 to 100 beats per minute.
Lesson Activities:
The teacher will be giving students a webercise activity to complete. On this worksheet, students have
the opportunity to explore different websites and become more familiar with effective warm up and cool
down techniques. After exploring and practicing different techniques, students will create their own
warm-up and cool down plan to try. After, theyll do their plan with a friend, and vice versa, then give
feedback.
Lesson Activities:
Students will complete a concept map. In this concept map, students will use a website as a guide in
creating their own fitness plan. They will tie in concepts from the heart rate and warm up/cool down
lessons. They will list different exercises for each physical fitness component that I provided. After
performing the workout, students will test their heart rate to ensure it is falling in the appropriate range.
If it does, they keep it, if not, they modify it and try it again.
