Standard(s)     TSW demonstrate competency in motor skills and movement patterns needed to
perform a variety of physical activities. (1)
               TSW demonstrate an understanding of movement concepts, principles, strategies, and
       tactics as they apply to the learning and performance of physical activities. (2)
               TSW exhibit responsible personal and social behaviors that respect self and others in
       physical activity settings. (5)

Performance Objectives
C: TSW show an understanding of the locomotor skills and the solar system by answering 4
out of 5 questions correctly during the closure.
A: TSW work together to achieve the locomotor skills while making the solar system 3 times.
P: TSW demonstrate the fundamental locomotor movements by moving throughout the
general space while acting like a space ships for thirty seconds at a time.

Equipment/Materials 15 hula hoops. 15 bean bags.


Skill Development
       Instant Activity      New Leader: make groups of 3-4 students, assigning one of the
students to be a leader. The groups move around the area, following the leader. On signal, the last
person moves to the head of the squad and become the leader. Various types of locomotor
movements and exercises should be used.


        Fitness Activity        Movement Challenges With Bean Bags: Work on flexibility,
muscular strength and endurance using the Bean Bags as motivation. Have abdominal
challenges and trunk challenges using the ball. Example: Ask who can touch the Bean Bag
to their toes for flexibility and who can crush the Bean Bag with their chest to work on
muscular strength.


       Introduction/Set Induction: Explain that today’s lesson is going to combine all the
locomotor skills that have been taught so far, and that we are going to be learning about the
planets in our solar system. I will ask the students if they ever wanted to become astronauts
and travel to outer space, and I will let them know that we will be doing those exact things
during the lesson while we learn about each planet including the sun.

         Introduce New Skill
                Explanation/Demonstration         I will review and explain each of the locomotor
skills that we have learned by stressing the teaching cues and demonstrating each in front of
the class. (Gardner Visual Spatial) I will also have students come to the front of the class to
demonstrate the skills while I provide feedback. (Gardner Bodily-Kinesthetic) I will also give a
brief explanation of the solar system and each planet that is inside, including the sun. I will
teach them the saying that will allow the students to remember the planets. (My Very Elegant
Mother Just Served Us Nachos)
              Guided Practice Activity     Sun Orbit: In this activity there will be an object
       placed in the middle of the room that represents the sun. The students will be orbiting
       the sun by doing locomotor skills around the sun. They will pretend that they are
       planets orbiting in our solar system. I will have them stand closer to the sun
       pretending they are a planet such as Earth that is a closer distance, and I will have
       them move further back to orbit pretending they are a planet such as Uranus.

Group Activity: Hoop Trip to Planets:
       This activity works better if the teacher has access to any illustrated children’s book of
the solar system. To begin this activity, each child needs a hoop. Have children stand in hoop
holding it at medium level. Explain that we are going to take a spaceship trip to the planets. Children
can move their body and hoop to low level for "blast off". Count backward from 5 to 0 and "blast off".
Designate the specific locomotor pattern the student should perform while flying their craft in outer
(general) space.

Have students land by placing hoop and body on the floor. The teacher will decide on a planet that
they have landed on. When they do, use the books and pictures to tell them 2 or 3 facts about that
planet. "Blast off" again.

Change the locomotor pattern, land on another planet and talk about it, etc. After visiting all the
planets return to earth. Have children discuss how earth is different than other planets.

       Assessment (Form Attached)


Closure      I will ask the students questions about the lesson and what we learned. I will
ask them about the planets and our solar system. What skills did we cover today to travel to
those planets? (Bloom Knowledge) How many Planets are in the solar system? (Bloom
Comprehension) Does anybody remember the saying that helps us remember the planets?
(Bloom Comprehension) “My Very Eager Mother Just Serves Us Nachos”
