LESSON OVERVIEW / Summary of the task, challenge, investigation, career-related scenario, problem, or community link.
There are five components to Fitness-Cardio, Flexibility, Muscular Strength, Body Composition, and Muscular Endurance. In this Unit of Fossil Fuels, students will continue their personal Fitness Plan by expanding and improving their overall health. The ratio to fat that is part of the human body is important in this f=generation because of the growing problem with obesity. If students can develop at this age an idea of how to exercise and the desire to exercise, the obesity will decrease across this Nation.
During this Unit students will learn to distinguish among different types of potential energies and recognize energy transformation. The student’s will accumulate recommended physical activity both in and out of educational setting. Cross-curricula connections to math include calculations of percentages, geometric formulas and shapes, and slope. Career connections include careers in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and science.
MOTIVATOR / Hook for the week unit or supplemental resources used throughout the week. (PBL scenarios, video clips, websites, literature)
In this Unit, students will be improving their fitness components by experiencing phases of exercise that includes movement, dance and rhythm, strength, and agility. The major idea is to increase blood circulation throughout the body. By watching what we put in our body and making sure we understand how important exercise is, our ratio to fat will decrease while our energy will increase.
The hook for the Unit is provided by youTube “Eating for Energy” with Yuri Elkiam

Learning Activity:15 minutes
Set
The teacher will begin the lesson by asking them what they think of the term “obesity” means. The teacher will establish the idea that all living things do need energy. The reinforcement of the idea that the continuous use of energy is one of the features that will aid to distinguish living from nonliving things. A definition of food as the source of materials and energy needed to support life.
Vocabulary Words: Obesity, calorie, caloric intake, caloric expenditure, metabolism, and Body Mass Index
Fitness Plan: Key Facts-Healthy weight is different with each individual. The tool the doctor uses to determine healthy weight is called Body Mass Index (BMI). The way to prevent being overweight and obese is to strike a balance between ones caloric intake and ones caloric expenditure. Weight becomes an issue when we take more calories in than we burn.

Lesson Plan-Physical Fitness and Energy
Engage Explore Explain
Major Concept:Hook – 5 minutes
Most of us want to look good and feel good. Eating healthy foods and being active can aid us to do just that. Humans require energy to function. The total energy used by an individual depends on the type and intensity of that person’s activity and the energy required for basic life processes. The total energy used by an individual varies from day to day and from one individual to another.
In this lesson of nutrition and physical activity, students will distinguish between rumors and facts. The teacher will show MyPlate, a description of nutrition, by showing the guidelines for healthy eating. The teacher will emphasize the importance of staying hydrated by drinking water.
Objectives:
After completing this lesson, students will:
- be able to describe ways humans use energy,
- demonstrate increased understanding of the scientific process,
- demonstrate increased knowledge about how they spend their time,
- be able to evaluate their personal activity level, and
- explain that activity levels vary from day to day and among individuals
- implement a personal fitness plan based on self-assessment and goal setting
Key Facts: One key nutrient used by the body is called Fats. Healthy fats are those known as monosaturated fats and polysturated fats. These fats are found in oils, nuts, avocados, fish, and most liquid vegetable oils.
Vocabulary Words-Monosaturated Fat, Polysaturated Fat, Saturated Fat, and Fatty Acids
Set
Learning Experience: 15 - minutes
Activity: In this activity, students record their physical activities and caloric intake. During class, the students will use the Fitness Pal app to fill out the daily fitness plan. This app will aid the student to understand the importance of watching what they consume and how physical activity will aid in improving overall health. The app allows students to compare physical activity levels on a school day with those on a weekend day also.
- Procedure: Ask students, “What is energy?” & “Where does energy come from?”
Accept all responses and post them on the board. Energy allows us, or provides us with the ability, to do work. Energy may be stored for later use, or it may be used immediately to do something, such as provide light, heat, or motion. Students may view energy simply as something that lets you do things, such as run, walk, or just stay alive. Teacher note: Asking this question requires students to call on their prior knowledge and to engage their thinking.
- Ask, “Do living things require energy?” Follow this with, “How do living things get their energy?”
Fitness Plan: 20 – minutes
Physical Activity-Agility
Divide the class into groups to create a muscular strength, muscular endurance and flexibility circuit routine

-Fitness Equipment / EQ: How does the information provided on the Food Labels aid me in achieving my fitness goals? / Provide the student’s with definitions. / -
Lesson Plan
Explain Explore
Objectives: After completing this activity, students will
- recognize that their energy input comes from consuming food,
- be able to use food labels to gather information about the calorie
- demonstrate increased awareness of serving sizes
Check with students on assignment of caloric intake log-Fitness Pal. Examine the different portions of the food label to determine what information the food label gives the consumer. Discuss with the students the food label information and what it contains and the importance of choosing the right foods. This lesson consists of one activity and takes one day to complete. Students discover the information included in food labels and explore the concept of serving size by comparing amounts of food that they eat with the serving size indicated on the food label. They use this information to calculate the number of calories consumed when they eat various foods-the app provides this information automatically when information is given in the app.
SET
Learning Experience: 15 minutes
Photocopies are made and distributed “How to Read Food Labels” and “Calorie information about Beverages”
The teacher will begin by asking students to recall what they did in Lesson 1 (they estimated the amount of energy they expended in BMR and physical activities). Then ask, “Where do you get the energy for your physical activities?”
Responses will vary, students may respond that they get energy from food, and this is an accurate response for this question. Important to stress, food provides matter for forming new tissues during growth (particularly important for children and adolescents) and repair. However, this is not the emphasis of this curriculum supplement.
Teacher will tell students that in lesson, they will explore how much energy they get from typical breakfast and lunch foods. The student’s must consider serving sizes and calories for typical breakfast and lunch items. In either case, however, will the foods students considerbe intended to represent complete, nutritious meals. They merely represent some of the foods that might be included in meals students consume.

Benefits for Physical Activity
- Continuing a fitness program one has started is one of the best things one can do for optimal health. Physical activity can reduce the risk of chronic disease, improve ones balance and coordination, help to lose weight — even improve the sleep habits and self-esteem. And there's more good news. One can do it in just five steps. By designing a fitness plan and using the steps outlined in the Mayo Clinic 5 steps to fitness plan, optimal health can be achievable.
Step 1: Assess your fitness level
Step 2: Design your fitness program
Step 3: Assemble your equipment
Step 4: Get started/Continue the Commitment
Step 5: Monitor your progress
2. Fitness Plan – Exercise Stations 20 minutes
Warm Up- Cardio / Stretches
Circuit training: each station represents a component of fitness. Divide class into 5 groups. Each group is assigned a fitness component. Groups must give examples and the benefits of these activities.
- Elliptical and Exercise Bike
- Total Gym Boards
- Exercise Bars
Closure: Discuss findings of the information given in the Fitness Pal app. The teacher will reinforce the Five Step Fitness Plan that each student will follow during the iWellness course.
5 / I can…explain why I suffer a crash when my body consumes too much sugar. / -iPad
-Fitness Equipment / EQ: Where does energy go? What days require more energy, weekdays or weekend days? / Provide the student’s with definition’s
Lesson Plan
Explain Explore
Objectives: After completing this activity, students will
- be able to calculate calorie intake from grams of carbohydrate, protein, and fat;
- be able to calculate calorie expenditures from physical activities;
- be able to describe the relationship of energy balance to weight loss, maintenance, and gain;
- be able to describe energy balance for adolescents and teenagers;
- be able to develop energy input-output strategies that allow a healthy weight for adolescents and teenagers.
Maintaining a specific weight requires consuming calories equal to those used in BMR and physical activities; that is, Energy in = Energy out, where Energy out = Energy BMR+ Energy Physical Activities. Healthy children, adolescents, and teenagers need to consume more calories than they use for BMR and physical activities because of energy requirements for growth. In this case, Energy in = Energy out + Energy growth + Energy stored, where Energy stored represents calories that are not used immediately and may be stored in the body for use at a later time.
