I was unable to align the times for each section - I tried copy and paste from the word document and every time I hit save it went back to the way it is now. Any one no how to fix that? Also - any and all comments are welcome!! Thanks, Barb =Daily Lesson GAME Plan = ||

**Language Arts** 3LA-10 read a variety of purposes including to generate questions, answer questions, to stimulate ideas and to improve comprehension 3LA-20 – summarize important ideas in informational text. **Math** 3MA-1 use appropriate technology to solve mathematical problems 3MA-4 apply and adapt a variety of appropriate strategies to solve problems **Health and PE** 3HE-12 identify the parts of the circulatory and respiratory systems and how each works. 3PE-1 participate in health enhancing physical activities. ||

 * == GOALS == ||
 * Content Standards:
 * ISTE NETS-S 2a : “Teachers will design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity”.
 * Instructional Objectives: Students will clearly see what happens to their heart rate during exercise and at rest.
 * Students will learn how to input their data from the pedometers into an excel spread sheet and make a chart of their results.
 * Students will research to find out WHY the heart reacts the way it does during exercise. ||
 * == ACTION == ||
 * Before-Class Preparation:
 * There will be a pedometer for each student out.
 * There will be a 4x5 index card and a sharpened pencil ready for each student.
 * I will have an excel spread sheet set up and saved on the computer for easy access for each student.
 * I will reserve the time in the computer lab for my class for two days just in case we need an extra day. ||

I will ask the class this question - “What happens to your heart rate during exercise?” We will then fill out a KWL chart together answering only the K and W part of the chart. What do they know about what happens to the heart during exercise, and why. And what do we want to learn that we do not already know. Each student will take their resting heart rate for ten seconds and write it down on their index card.

The students will walk briskly for three minutes, then jog for three minutes, then run as fast as they can and maintain that pace for three minutes. After this level they will walk for three minutes to cool down. Each time they switch to a higher level, (and after the cool down), they will stop, take their pulse for 10 seconds, and write it down (they know how to do this from previous lessons) and the number of steps that they have taken so far.

The students will look at the information on their cards and we fill out the L in the KWL chart. What they learned. The students will leave the pedometers and the index cards with me before leaving class.

**DAY TWO** We will meet in the computer lab. I will have the KWL chart from the previous lesson and each students’ index card.. We will review the KWL and see if there is anything that we want to add to the L section. We will also look at the K part and make any corrections if necessary.

The students will take the numbers from their index cards for their heart rate and put them into the excel spread sheet that I have created. Then they will create a chart to show their information and print it. They will also fill in the sections for their total steps for each section. They must tell how many steps they took in each 3 minute section. Since they do not reset the pedometer between sections, they must use their math skills to figure out their steps.

Students will get with a partner and look through the available websites (through the school website) and see if they can answer the question WHY the heart reacts as it does during exercise and is the fact that we breath faster connected to what the heart is doing? They will write their answer(s) down on a piece of paper and turn it at the end of class. || pedometers, index cards pencils.

KWL chart on larger dry erase board in gym, dry erase markers || Each chart will be handed in and graded. I will move about the computer lab observing and helping as needed.
 * == MONITOR == ||
 * **Ongoing Assessment(s):** I will look at the index cards to be sure that the students are getting appropriate counts for their heart rates.

**Accommodations and Extensions**: For any students that are unable to walk or run for any reason, they can simply move their arms in various ways and with varying intensity to raise their heart rate. Students will be highly encouraged (I am always the cheerleader encouraging them to do their best) to run; however, if they need to walk they can but must do so briskly.

**Back-Up Plan**: I hope that this lesson will fit into two days; however, I will be flexible and can easily add a third day if necessary, more than likely I will need another day in the computer lab, so I will schedule it just in case. || This is the first time that I have attempted to do such a technology lesson with my PE students. I will be looking closely to see that the students are engaged in the learning process throughout the lesson. I think that they will enjoy seeing their results in the chart form. || COLLABORATIVE LESSON

I had a lot of trouble uploading the chart to the wiki so i have attached it as a link - as always feedback is welcome! Thank you, Barb
