Physical Education 11

QUARTER YEAR SEMESTER: .25 CREDITS

Physical Education 11 provides students with a complete physical education course, which includes a mix of nutrition-related insight to physical fitness activities. Students begin by learning about the requirement of supervised, physical activity and how to document their activity in a PE Log. They can manually track activity or use their electronic fitness tracker. Next, students explore a variety of health and physical fitness components such as using fitness equipment and playing organized games. When students are asked to complete an exercise or activity, they receive instruction on the basic elements and the proper execution of each movement so that they can get the most benefits from the exercise. Regardless of what activity the student is asked to do within a given day, they are encouraged to get up and move for a certain amount of time in each lesson. Students can be active by performing different exercises, engaging in different activities, or by using items from their grade-appropriate physical education kits, which are available to purchase. This kit, which is designed to work in conjunction with the course content, contains age-appropriate exercise and activity items. Students who participate in organized team practices, games, and/or matches can also document activity within the Sports Verification Log.
