Physical Education 8

Physical Education 8 offers a complete physical education experience for students, helping them learn about and implement healthy habits. Whether it is through nutrition, exercise, or general life choices, students are educated on the multiple facets of creating a healthy lifestyle. Students begin by learning about the required physical activity and how to document their activity in a PE Log. Students can also track their activity by using a fitness tracker. Next, students begin to work through the course content, which ranges from topics about the F.I.T.T. principle and other fitness components to various fun and challenging activities and exercise techniques. Before attempting each activity, students 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 the activity students are asked to do within a given day, they are encouraged to get up and move for a certain amount of time within each lesson. Students can be active by performing different exercises, engaging in different activities, or by using items from their grade-appropriate physical education kit, which is available to purchase. This kit, which is designed to work in conjunction with the course content, contains age-appropriate exercise and activity items.
