Lesson Plan

Grade/Subject: Grade 5 Physical Education Lesson Duration: 60 min

OUTCOMES FROM ALBERTA PROGRAM OF STUDIES

Overview of lesson:
In this lesson, students will become familiar with operating a GPS unit in order to find their next circuit
activity. Each station will require students to practice their locomotor and nonlocomotor skills.
General Learning Outcomes:
Outcome A: Students will acquire skills through a variety of developmentally appropriate movement activities; dance,
games, types of gymnastics, individual activities and activities in an
alternative environment; e.g., aquatics and outdoor pursuits.
Specific Learning Outcomes:
A5–1 select, perform and refine more challenging locomotor sequences
A5–2 consistently and confidently perform locomotor skills and combination of skills, by using elements of body and
space awareness, effort and relationships to a variety of stimuli to improve personal performance
A5–3 select, perform and refine more challenging nonlocomotory sequences
A5–4 consistently and confidently perform nonlocomotor skills by using elements of body and space awareness, effort
and relationships to a variety of stimuli to improve personal performance
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Students will:
1. Become familiar with operating a GPS unit
2. Perform locomotor skills
3. Perform nonlocomotor skills

LEARNING RESOURCES CONSULTED

Resource #1: Program of Studies
MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT
- GPS units- at least 5
- Hula-Hoops
- Skipping ropes
- 4 pylons
- Basket balls
- Sheet of coordinates with activity description
- Timer
- Whistle
PROCEDURE
Introduction (7 min.):
- Have students assemble in a line outside
- Number students off from one through five
- Each team will have at least one GPS unit or more depending on supply
- Each team will receive a sheet of coordinates that are different from another **this will needed to be created
in advance as coordinates will differ from place to place where you want the students to be.
- Each coordinate will have the activity description
- Demonstrate how to plug in the coordinates to the GPS
- Each group will have different starting point
- Demonstrate each activity at the stations
- Students will have 10 minutes at each station before moving onto the next

1
Body (50 min.):
Station #1: 15 burpees, 10 sit ups, 20 leg lifts, 10 jumping jacks, 10 lunges (each leg, total 20)
Station #2: Hula-hoops and skipping ropes
Station #3: Stretching: shoulder rolls, toe touches, arm circles
Station #4: Jogging along the outside of the pylons (set them up in a large square shape)
Station #5: Shoot hoops at basketball court

- Blow whistle every 10 minutes to indicate change in station

Closure (3 min.):
- Have students gather the equipment at their last station to be taken back to the gym
- Upon collection of GPS units, ask each group to brainstorm other ways a GPS could be used
- When students are settled back into the classroom, ask them to share their ideas
