• 1.5 Jump for distance, landing on both feet and bending the hips, knees, and ankles to reduce the impact force. 

• 1.6 Skip and leap, using proper form. Manipulative Skills 

• 1.7 Roll a ball for distance, using proper form. 

• 1.8 Throw a ball for distance, using proper form. 

• 1.9 Catch a gently thrown ball above the waist, reducing the impact force. 

• 1.10 Catch a gently thrown ball below the waist, reducing the impact force. 

• 1.11 Kick a slowly rolling ball. 

• 1.12 Strike a balloon consistently in an upward or forward motion, using a short-handled paddle. 

• 1.13 Strike a ball with a bat from a tee or cone, using correct grip and side orientation. 

• 1.14 Hand-dribble, with control, a ball for a sustained period. 

• 1.15 Foot-dribble, with control, a ball along the ground. 1.16 Jump a rope turned repeatedly.

Rhythmic Skills

• 1.17 Demonstrate a smooth transition between even-beat locomotor skills and uneven-beat locomotor skills in response to music or an external beat. 

• 1.18 Perform rhythmic sequences related to simple folk dance or ribbon routines. 

• 1.19 Perform with a partner rhythmic sequences related to simple folk dance or ribbon routines.

Movement Concepts

• 2.10 Identify the roles of body parts not directly involved in catching objects. 

• 2.11 Identify when to begin the kicking motion when kicking a slowly rolling ball. 

• 2.12 Identify the different points of contact when striking a balloon upward and striking a balloon forward. 

• 2.13 Explain the purpose of using a side orientation when striking a ball from a batting tee. 

• 2.14 Differentiate the effects of varying arm and hand speeds when hand-dribbling a ball.

Fitness Concepts 

• 3.1 Participate in enjoyable and challenging physical activities for increasing periods of time. 

Aerobic Capacity 

• 3.2 Participate three to four times each week, for increasing periods of time, in moderate to vigorous physical activities that increase breathing and heart rate. 

Muscular Strength/Endurance 

• 3.3 Perform abdominal curl-ups, modified push-ups, oblique curl-ups, forward and side lunges, squats, and triceps push-ups from a chair or bench to enhance endurance and increase muscle efficiency. 

• 3.4 Traverse the overhead ladder one bar at a time. 

Flexibility

Fitness Concepts 

• 4.1 Explain the fuel requirements of the body during physical activity and inactivity. 

• 4.2 Describe the role of moderate to vigorous physical activity in achieving or maintaining good health. 

• 4.3 Identify ways to increase time for physical activity outside of school. 

• 4.4 Discuss how body temperature and blood volume are maintained during physical activity when an adequate amount of water is consumed. 

• 4.5 Explain how the intensity and duration of exercise, as well as nutritional choices, affect fuel use during physical activity. 

Aerobic Capacity 

• 4.6 Compare and contrast the function of the heart during rest and during physical activity. 

• 4.7 Describe the relationship between the heart and lungs during physical activity. 

• 4.8 Compare and contrast changes in heart rate before, during, and after physical activity. 

Muscular Strength/Endurance 

• 4.9 Describe how muscle strength and muscle endurance enhance motor skill performance. 

• 4.10 Identify muscles being strengthened during the performance of particular physical activities.

Flexibility 

• 4.13 Identify the muscles being stretched during the performance of particular physical activities.
