Physically Fit Outside of School

I am going to use this as a two day lesson plan! The research side might be a little harder for students that are not familiar with our data base. I think this lesson plan needs to be "loved" to be effective. By this I mean, you have to get excited over it for your students to get excited over it!

Standards

PEHS.6 "PEHS.6: Values physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression, and/or social
interaction."

Elements:
a. Explain(s) why participation in activities is enjoyable and desirable either
alone or in a group.
Examples:

rule enforcement, team play, etc.).
b. Participates in activities designed to improve skills for personal challenge,
enjoyment, and expression.
