- alternate environment activities (e.g., skating, cross-country skiing, swimming, snowshoeing, cycling, hiking, tracking, skateboarding, roping, canoeing, downhill skiing, orienteering)
- body management activities including dance and educational gymnastics, as well as others (e.g., wrestling, track and field, pilates, yoga, aerobics).
(a) |
Willingly engage in developing skills, used alone or in combination, while participating in a variety of alternate environment and body management activities. |
(b) |
Create and implement a plan to increase efficiency of movement to support sustained participation in a variety of alternate environment activities. |
(c) |
Analyze self-selected and teacher-selected alternate environment activities (e.g., downhill skiing, water polo, orienteering) to determine the specific movement skills (e.g., snowplow in skiing, treading water in swimming, map reading) required for enjoyable participation in the activities. |
(d) |
Analyze self-selected and teacher-selected body management activities (e.g., hip hop dance, wrestling, yoga) to determine the specific movement skills (e.g., one-two step in hip hop, duck out or spin and roll in wrestling, warrior's pose in yoga) required for enjoyable participation in the activities. |
(e) |
Demonstrate dynamic balance (e.g., cartwheels, skating backwards, stroking while canoeing, quick change of direction in various activities) applying biomechanical principles (e.g., lower centre of gravity, widen base of support) for stability. |
(f) |
Identify and apply biomechanical concepts (e.g., torque, equilibrium, reaction force) related to acceleration and deceleration of the body |
(g) |
Create and perform a sequence of movement skills and combinations of skills that include the movement of objects and are performed to a rhythm (e.g., music, drum beat, clapping). |
(h) |
Demonstrate an understanding of the concept of flow and how to achieve flow in relation to sequences of combined movements while participating in dance and other body management activities such as yoga and aerobics. |
(i) |
Co-create and teach a group dance sequence that combines a variety of locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative skills. |
