Mr. Harris is a 6th PE teacher. During class, Mr. Harris asks Billy to stand up and come to the front of the class. Mr. Harris tells Billy to stand straight up with his feet close together while Mr. Harris gently pushes Billy off-balance. Next, Mr. Harris tells Billy to separate his feet and slightly crouch down. Mr. Harris then uses the same amount of force but is unable to push Billy off-balance. Which of the following is the activity most likely to promote to Mr. Harris’s 6th grade class?

During anaerobic exercises:

Ms. Sims, a second-grade teacher, has been teaching a unit of safety to her class. She has already taught several lessons on how to stay safe in various situations, steps to prevent accidents, and how to best respond in emergencies. Which of the following would be the best activity to assess the students’ knowledge of the unit?
11
Which of the following strategies should a physical education teacher utilize to promote a sense of fairness and sportsmanship among students during physical activities?
12
A teacher has the students perform the following warm-up exercises:
Feedback
By age four, a child’s walking ability should be fluid and mimic the walking style of an adult. All other answer choices describe an infant’s walking style.
Locomotor skills involve moving the body from one location to another. Leaping would constitute such an activity.
Non-locomotor body management would be an activity where there is no movement, but body control is required. Standing on a balance beam requires body control and management, but does not require movement.
Locomotor skills involve moving the body from one location to another. Hopping would constitute such an activity.
Locomotor skills involve moving the body from one location to another. Moving one’s arm to throw a baseball would constitute such an activity.
Fine motor skills are the coordination of small muscles with the eyes; examples would be handwriting and pencil grip.
Self-efficacy is an individual’s opinion of himself.
An action or activity in a rhythmic manner. Examples would be dancing, skipping, or galloping. Manipulative skills are when a student handles an object with his hands, feet, or another body part. Examples of manipulative skills would be jumping rope, kicking a soccer ball, or throwing a baseball.
Rhythmic skills require a student to perform
At age three, children should be demonstrating the ability to gallop, skip, and slide.
Children should be demonstrating the ability to gallop, skip, and slide before age five.
Children should be demonstrating the ability to gallop, skip, and slide before age six.
Children should be demonstrating the ability to gallop, skip, and slide before age seven.
Listing situations does not allow students to exercise decision-making skills. It is also impossible to list every potential dangerous scenario a student may face. Instruction should try to encourage and promote good decision-making with students.
Discussing ways to communicate in relationships does not promote safety awareness.
Role-playing responses to difficult situations is the best answer because it allows students to exercise decision-making skills. Students best learn how to handle a variety of situations by practicing good decision-making in role-playing environments.
Brainstorming does not allow students to exercise decision-making skills. It is also impossible to list every potential dangerous scenario a student may face. Instruction should try to encourage and promote good decision-making with students.
FITT (frequency, intensity, time, and type) would suggest gradually increasing the time of the physical activity to build endurance.
Gradually increasing the number of sessions would pertain to the frequency aspect of FITT – (frequency, intensity, time, and type).
Gradually increasing the distance would pertain to the intensity aspect of FITT – (frequency, intensity, time, and type). Because the amount of time in the session would remain 30 minutes – the answer does not say anything about increasing the amount of time – then the father and son would have to exert more energy to go a farther distance in the same amount of time.
Gradually decreasing the amount of time in each session would not promote fitness, as the father and son would do less and less of the physical activity. This would not be promoted by FITT – (frequency, intensity, time, and type).
Higher fat levels result in increased insulation and fat storage. Exercise will typically reduce fat storage.
Mr. Harris didn’t change speed or rhythm, he pushed Billy in the same manner. Billy changed his positioning.
Billy lowered his center of gravity by crouching, which improved his balance.
Widening the feet increases the base of support for one’s stability. As feet move closer together, the center of gravity becomes higher and decreases support; however, the wider the feet move apart the lower and more centered the center of gravity and the more stable the position.
No significant change to any muscle group’s load occurred in this experiment.
Glucose storage is not increased, only the use of glucose is increased in anaerobic exercise.
During anaerobic exercise, muscles use glucose instead of oxygen, because the activity requires more energy than just oxygen can provide. The flow of oxygen is not improved, the body uses another energy source (glucose).
Anaerobic exercise takes place when muscles use glucose for energy instead of oxygen because the activity requires more energy than just oxygen can provide. Examples of anaerobic exercise include sprinting and weight lifting.
The primary goal for aerobic activity is extended activity, this is not the case for anaerobic exercise. Anaerobic exercises increase muscular strength and can decrease body fat.
Asking the local fire department to come to talk does not allow the students to demonstrate their knowledge.
First, this would only allow students to demonstrate their response in one emergency situation. Second, it is not a good idea to place students in an emergency situation as students might be hurt.
This is the best answer option as students would be able to fully articulate their knowledge on the best plan of action for a specific situation. The teacher can then review the plan of actions and discuss the groups’ responses.
Showing a video does not allow the students to demonstrate their knowledge.
Not all students will be great at every game or activity they play. Promoting a false sense of mastery in an activity is not appropriate for a physical education teacher.
Not keeping score or declaring a winner does not necessarily reduce the competition between students.
Actively encouraging supportive behaviors and good sportsmanship is the best strategy to promote fairness and sportsmanship during physical activities. Socially rewarding positive behaviors is a key factor in promoting those behaviors.
Reciting a team chant can promote team unity, but it is not the best option to encourage fairness and sportsmanship of the answer options.
Jumping jacks can improve a student’s cardiovascular strength generally, but does not directly aid in the passing of a soccer ball.
Toe touches and ankle circles will best prepare a student for learning the basics of soccer because soccer consists of largely kicking a ball, which involves quick leg moves and ankle agility.
Lunges can improve leg strength and flexibility, which may help a person to play soccer, but are less directly beneficial than toe touches/ankle circles.
Running in place can improve a student’s cardiovascular strength generally, but does not directly aid in the passing of a soccer ball.
