Sample Lesson Plan

 

Date: Wednesday, March 21, 2001 Time: 90 minutes

Subject: Health & Physical Education/ Strand: Fundamental Movement

Math Skills/Data Management

 

 

 

Expectations:

bulletKick balls of various sizes and shapes for distance and accuracy
bulletDesign surveys, organize the data into self-selected categories and ranges, and record the data on spreadsheets or tally charts
bulletExperiment with a variety of displays of the same data using computer applications, and select the type of graph that best represents the data

 

Materials:

bulletBalls of various shapes and sizes, Microsoft Works Spreadsheet, pencil & paper, measuring tape

 

Activity:

bulletThe students’ task is to experiment with several sizes and types of balls to see which travels the furthest, and the difference in distance between the balls.
bulletWorking in pairs the students will kick five different balls two times each and record the distances kicked.

 

Application:

bulletThe students will input the recorded data into a spreadsheet.
bulletThe data will be used to create the following comparison graphs:
bulletBetween balls
bulletBetween trails with the same ball
bulletBetween partners
bulletThe students should experiment with the different types of graphs and produce their findings using the most appropriate graph for the information. bulletThis will be accompanied by an explanation of what graph they used and why it was used.

 

 

Modifications:

bulletAsking a student to produce graphs of just the data recorded rather than comparisons may modify this activity.
bulletHaving the data input into the computer for the student and having them go through the process of creating the graph may also modify it.

 

Extension:

bulletThis activity can be extended by asking students to create a report on why they feel one ball went further than the others. This should include graphs and scientific explanations along with any experimental errors that occurred.

 

Assessment:

bulletThe Physical Education expectation may be assessed by using a checklist to record whether the skill has developed, is progressing or has not yet developed.
bulletThe Mathematics expectations may be assessed based on knowledge of concepts (which graph is proper to use) and problem solving abilities (how to make the proper graphs and display the information). The following is the rubric to be used.
