Students study biomechanics. They apply their understanding of sports to determine what athletes do to improve their performance. They participate in a series of lessons and activities.

Students explore athletes and how they perform. In this physics lesson, students investigate how physics is involved in sports. Students go online to interactive sites that explain physics and biomechanics. Students also research and...

Students examine the body's major organ systems and how they function and influence each other. They examine how the human body moves when involved in sports.

Students examine the range of motion of your knee, wrist and shoulder and observe that these body parts act like different types of mechanical joints.

Students build a model of a human arm and shoulder.

Learners investigate range of motion in human joints and the mechanical devices they emulate. They construct a human arm model with three joints which emulate the wrist, elbow and shoulder.

Learners decide on an activity like running, swimming or skating for a performance analysis. They have friends or family members videotape them as they exercise, then review the video to see how they can improve their performance.

In this Olympics worksheet, students answer multiple choice regarding training at and for the Olympics. Students complete 5 questions.

The students listen to and discuss the book "Brave Irene." The students then participating in creating a class web about a snowstorm. The students then independently journal about bravery. They conclude the instructional activity by...

Third graders brainstorm and write summary of things they learned about American Flag, edit another student's summary, rewrite their own summary, and conference with teacher before writing final copy.
