To evaluate the exercise taken by students in your class/es
Aim
To evaluate the exercise taken by students in your class/es.
Evidence and reflection
We suggest that a simple daily record sheet is developed such as the one below. The task for an appropriate group of students could be to record their physical activity:
If you had any exercise at these times, please write in what you did.
after getting up
getting to school
first lesson
breaktime
second lesson
dinner time
third lesson
getting home
in the evening
This could be completed retrospectively for one week.
Extension
Analyse your results. You will probably be able to see patterns in the type, amount and timing of activities. Perhaps there will be differences between boys and girls, or between students with gardens at home and those without. Do you judge that the amount of exercise is sufficient for healthy physical growth at the age of your sample of students?
