This idea addresses National Standard #4 and #5

In groups of two-three, the students will create a fitness station emphasizing one of the five fitness components (Cardiovascular Endurance, Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance, Flexibility, Body Composition) and describe how the F.I.T.T. principle applies to this component. Upon completion of the design, the stations will be set up throughout the gym and students will teach parents at a PE Parents’ Night event.

Students will work in groups of 2-3 to develop a fitness station focusing on one of the five fitness components. Your activity station must include the following:

√ A fun, creative activity that will keep participants involved for 2 minutes
√ Explanation of the key characteristics of the component
√ Explanation of the F.I.T.T. principle
√ A fun title for the station
√ Easy to follow written directions for activity
√ Involvement from all participants in the group

Time Line:
Day #1: Students will draw for a component. There will be two stations studying the same component or ten stations of activity. The students will begin designing their station.

Day #2: Students will continue the work on their station, selecting music, making posters, etc.

Day #3: The students will finalize their station and practice their presentation.

Day #4: Students will present their station activity to two groups, while the remainder of the class observes. Upon completion of the activity at the station, the students in the two groups will assess the activity.

PE Parents’ Night (Planned Date): Students will present their information to parents, as the parents rotate through the stations. Digital pictures of each group will be taken at this time.

Grading: The peer assessment will not be graded but will provide direction for preparation for the presentation to the parents. The teacher observation assessment is worth 16 points and is part of the fitness component of the grade, which is worth 10% of the nine-week letter grade.
