3B PE-Learning about how different exercises can affect health and well being in the PE Classroom

Integrating the unit of injury in the PE classroom:

The central idea for this Who We Are unit of inquiry is: 

The choices people make can affect their health and well-being

The lines of inquiry which are being used to support this unit are:

● What it means to have a balanced diet

● How exercise can affect our body and mind

● Different sources of information to help us make choices

To learn about what it means to have a balanced diet, the students first learned about the different food groups and the nutrients they provide. 

The students are also learning about different categories of exercises (Strength, Endurance, Balance and Flexibility) and the various exercises you can do to have a positive affect on health and well being. 

Strength exercises: 

Flexibility exercises 

Endurance and strength exercises 

Stretching exercises
