Goal Statement:
The student will understand the importance of Body Mass Index.
Objective Statement:
The student will calculate individual BMI compared to other individuals with the same
height.
Anticipatory Set: (NASPE Standard 1) NETS-s: 5-B Students use technology tools to
process data and report results.
In these 3 to 5 five minutes students will weigh themselves and measure their height.
These will be done in small groups and data will be recorded on the computer in a spread
sheet for the group. They will record weight and height data.
Closure:
(NASPE 5) NETS-S: 5-A Students use technology to locate, evaluate and collect
information from a variety of sources.
A reinforcement of the normal, overweight, and obese BMI calculations. A short
discussion as a class an internet activity using statistics of the USA BMI index rates
overtime. We will look to see the increase over the past 20 years.
Evaluation: A take home essay determining why you think you have a particular BMI
index. If your score is over the normal amount explain why, if your score is under the
normal amount explain why?
Reteach Section: I would provide a BMI index chart to all students at the beginning of
class. One strategy would be to have a discussion asking questions prompting my
students to gear their brains thinking healthy thoughts. Such as: Why do think obesity is
on the rise? Why do people have different body shapes? Is their actually categories of
weight classes? This would be followed by reading the textbook and defining BMI. I
would have a worksheet which could be answered from the reading. A closure would be
a discussion amongst the class and a homework activity like the one assigned on the
original lesson plan.
