Lesson Summary
How do you determine the best length for a skipping rope? What distance should long rope swingers stand apart from each other? What surfaces are best for skipping? We could tell you the answers, but good scientific minds are always seeking evidence to support their claims. So in this lesson, students make a hypothesis, conduct scientific experiments, and present their findings visually, to answer these questions and more.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- use the scientific method to predict, gather, analyse, evaluate and present data
- use positive social skills to explain their reasoning to their peers, with justification.
Success criteria
Students can:
- perform a variety of movement skills
- compare and contrast different skipping techniques
- discuss and build upon the ideas of others
- use a table and column graph to collect and present data visually.
