                  Learners
 12th Grade
 Public High School
 Kinesiology Class
 Basic Computer Skills and Motor Skills
 Biomechanics Software
            Lesson Objective
 Students will be able to identify the wrong
  running mechanics
 Students will be able to explain the right
  techniques to run properly
 Students will be able to graph together a work
  plan for fixing the problem
          Content Standards
 Students demonstrate successful movement
  forms at a basic level and some movement
  forms at a mastery level.
 Students apply movement concepts and
  principles to the learning and development of
  motor skills.
 Students demonstrate ways to achieve and
  maintain a health-enhancing level of physical
  fitness.
        Technology Standards
 Students are proficient in the use of
  technology.
 Students use technology to locate, evaluate,
  and collect information from a variety of
  sources.
 Students use technology tools to process
  data and report results.
 Students use technology resources for
  solving problems and making informed
  decisions.
         Lesson Introduction
 Define the proper mechanics to running.
 Video on professional runners and past
  students with proper mechanics.
 Introduce students to the Biomechanics'
  software
                 Stimulus
Students will:
 Be grouped into groups of two.
 Video type their partner’s running.
 Convert their video image of partners into 3D
  figures on computer using the Biomechanics'
  software.
          Stimulus Continued
 Compare their partner’s 3D figure side by
  side with 3D figures of professional runners
  or past student with proper running
  mechanics.
 Chart down their findings and then make a
  workout plan to fix the problem if there is one.
 Retake their partners’ running and 3D figure
  two weeks before semester is over to see if
  there is any improvement.
             Lesson Closure
 Students will present their findings to class.
 Students will present their solutions.
 Students will be tested on the proper
  procedures leading up to the conclusion and
  solution.
                Follow up
 Group discussion on if their was any changes
  in the first typing to the second one.
 Group discussion on if their workout plan
  helped their partner on improving his running
  mechanics.
 Group discussion on the use of technology in
  a Kinesiology class.
     Assessment for the Lesson
 Participation in class
 Workout plan
 Presentation
 Test
      Instructional Resources
 Biomechanics Software
 Four desktop computers
 Four video Cameras
