Today, we are going to do a cardio HITT workout for kids. Follow along with the video below (which includes a warm-up). Be sure to take breaks about every 5 mins to get a break and some water!
Cool Down: Rainbow Breath - Learn to Raise Your Energy
Were you ever misunderstood because someone did not share or understand your feelings in a given situation?
Have you ever hidden your feelings (perhaps told someone that you were fine when you actually weren’t) because you didn’t think they would understand?
What factors make it hard to respond empathetically to someone?
Click the picture to follow along with the Dance Story Part II and identify the feelings of characters in scenarios, think about your own similar experiences, and describe ways to show empathy and caring to someone in those situations.
Engineering Challenge: Build a Marble Run
Build a marble run that will allow a marble to move from one place to another without falling.
Materials: You will need materials to make the ramps and tubes. This can be cardboard tubes, rolled recycled paper, or cereal and tissue boxes that you cut apart to make ramps. You can also use paper cups and recycled cans and milk cartons. You will also need tape, scissors, and a marble.
Plan: How are you going to build your marble run? Will it be able to stand on its own or will it be attached to a wall, your refrigerator, or a table and chairs? Where do you want the marble run to start, and where do you want it to finish?
Make: Cut some pieces of tape so you have it handy to use. If you need to cut some tubes in half to make ramps do that first. Then build your run!
Test: This is the most fun part. Test your run. Did your marble stay on the run? Do you need to make adjustments to your run so the marble makes it all the way to the end?
Reflect: What did you learn when you were building this marble run?
Redesign: Try to redesign your run so the marble takes a longer or a shorter time to get to the end. What did you change so that you met your goal?
Check out some interesting marble runs here and another example here.
