Lesson Learning Objectives

Note:
For each domain, do not write what the students will be doing…write
specifically what the students will be learning.

1. CA PE Standards (Psychomotor):
Psychomotor Domain Objectives
3.1 Assess the components of health-related physical fitness (muscle strength,
muscle endurance, aerobic capacity, flexibility, and body composition) by using a
scientifically based health-related physical fitness assessment.

Students will participate in fitness assessment of their flexibility using the sit and
reach method and shoulder stretch method.

Sequence of Skill Assessment

Lesson Components
(Lesson does not necessarily have to follow this order specifically):

• Transition to Learning Area

o Students go to poly spots

Transition

• Warm up: Provide a list of activities and a description for each • Students are preassigned to specific poly spots and have
o Students perform the following warm up exercises in 30 second been trained to quickly move to their poly spot
intervals:
▪ Jogging in place
▪ Jumping jacks
▪ Jump Squats Warm up
▪ Large forward arm circles
▪ Large backward arm circles • Instructor will lead students through warm up exercises
▪ Small forward arm circles using command style instruction and observing student
▪ Small backward arm circles engagement from the front of the class.
▪ Burpees • Student misbehavior is addressed through proximity
▪ March in place control or moving students to different places
• Transition
o Student sit on polyspots

• Introduction
o A discussion will be facilitated on the following prompt:
▪ What type of exercises have we learned so far this year?
▪ How are these exercises applicable to flexibility?
 ▪ How is flexibility applicable to today’s fitness
assessment?
▪ Why is flexibility an important component of fitness?
▪ How can flexibility be improved over time?
▪ Why did we have to warm up today?
Introduction
• Transition
o Students divide into two groups and line up for sit and reach
o test or shoulder stretch test based on groups • Instructor will lead the class through the discussion by posing
the general questions listed in the methods section. Student
responses will be voluntary initially and may become
involuntary if there is low levels of participation.
• Student misbehavior will be dealt with using proximity, stern
• Activity warning, and time out of discussion if necessary.
o Students complete sit and reach test and shoulder stretch test
recording the best of 3 attempts
o Students waiting in line perform self-checks of heart rate using
carotid pulse and perform student choice exercises to keep
heart rate elevated Transition

• Stations for sit and reach and shoulder stretch will be pre
set up and students will have predetermined groups and
orders to proceed in.

Activity

• Instructor will be near both stations to record student

results. Students who are not being tested will be expected
to monitor their heart rates and keep them above resting
level

• Transitions within activity

 o Once students are tested at one station they will transition to
the other
o Students who complete both stations will practice yoga balance
poses covered in previous units
• Students will have the freedom to use any exercise
learned in the individual fitness unit
• Students who do not engage in exercise or do not meet
heart rate requirements will be moved to the front of the
line and assigned specific exercises and intensities to work
at

Transitions within activity

• Once students complete one test they will get into line for
the other test and continue performing exercises to keep
heart rates elevated.
• Students who complete both tests will be expected to
perform yoga balance poses from either of the previous
• Cool down yoga units at a predesignated yoga station
o Guided meditation session • Students who do not follow instructions will be assigned
specific poses to exercise and placed near the instructor to
be monitored closely

Cool down

• Students will sit at the predesignated yoga station and

listen to a guided meditation recording, following all
prompts
 • Students who do not follow instructions will be given
stern warning and moved to the front of the class
• Closure • Students who continue to disrupt or fail to participate in
o Students will discuss methods to improve or maintain the guided meditation will be removed from activity and
results they achieved today spoken to independently after the meditation session

Closure

• Instructor will use inquiry style discussion again to lead

students to discuss general feelings regarding their results
and methods or exercises that can be used to improve
results or maintain current flexibility level
