This topic paper discusses the book Teaching the Nuts and Bolts of Physical Education, which was published in 2008. The accompanying CD-ROM with sample lesson plans was not provided with the book. This book is really a guide to teaching 17 manipulative and 8 locomotor skills that children ages 5 to 12 will learn in physical education class. I will briefly discuss a couple of these skills with a suggested activity. This is a handy guide for a future physical education teacher. There are drawings
Trapped Charlie woke up with the biggest headache he ever had struggled with. The bright sun glared into his eyes, and the humid air was so thick he felt he could cut it with a knife. Sitting up, Charlie took in his surroundings. Surrounding him was strange foliage he had never seen. Trees with trunks that looked like the skin of a pineapple towered above him. Humongous ferns swayed in the hot breeze. Charlie figured he was in some sort of jungle. Realizing he had his machete with him, he set of
PAIN! Lots of pain! I thought I was dying! I slammed into the ground my leg now at a very odd angle! I screamed! I heard footsteps running towards me screaming for me to answer, but I couldn't find the energy to do so! I closed my eyes and then I fainted! When I was small about six or seven years of age. I remember playing in our local park, on the biggest climbing frame I had ever seen. I would climb so high I'd swear I could reach the sky. I'd play for hours and hours everyday of the summer

Locomotion is obtained by propagating waves from the front ... ... middle of paper ... ...g product.

My friend and I were playing outside in kindergarten at Prairie Ridge Elementary School and a kid came walking over to me and said, “Hey Claire and Reylynn I DARE you to come over and do the monkey bars”. I said, “Ok!” Reylynn replied, “NO”. “I don’t know how to do the monkey bars.” To me Reylynn made the good decision not to do the monkey bars because they were dangerous, especially for kindergarteners. I was walking to the monkey bars’ slow as a turtle because I was talking
To learn and experience something new and out of your norm can be a pretty scary thing, almost like being in a foreign country and not knowing your surroundings; what do you do? You panic! I can remember clearly an event during my childhood, it was one of the hardest thing I've ever had to do, and that was learning how to rock climb. All my friend’s parents would take them to a nearby gym after school. It was a gym for kids and rock climbing was the cool thing to do. I wanted to go so badly and feel
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, commonly referred to as DMD, is a life threatening disease. There are many different forms of muscular dystrophy, Duchenne being one more serious. DMD begins to show at a young age. This particular form of muscular dystrophy is mostly found in males. Duchenne is carried by the mother on the X chromosome but often, the event of having this disease is just a “fluke.” Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a deadly and unfortunate disease but new research that is being done may

I woke up to the shimmering beam of sunlight shining through my bedroom window. Despite the time and the comfort of my warm and snug bed I manage to wake up. Waking up for me is a constant struggle in my life, but this past summer that changed. This summer I learned to love something that I never would have imagined. I learned to love running, nevertheless, running is still a love hate relationship for me. Running is an escape for me and allows me to forget about all my worries and to relax. However
Haruki Murakami’s What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is a detailed memoir that describes his struggles with running and his life experiences of becoming a novelist. He presents his experience of his life as a runner in an honest and simplistic way that is enjoyable for the reader. The book is a kind of part running journal and part memoir. Throughout the memoir Murakami presents his experience as a developing novelist, along with his escapades as a nightclub entrepreneur, all within the
A ''running back'' (RB) is the position of a player on an American football team who usually lines up in the Offensive backfield. The primary roles of a running backs are to receive handoffs from the quarterback for a rushing play, to catch passes from out of the backfield, and to block. Some athletic traits that a running back will need are Speed, Power, Endurance, Strength and Agility. In football speed over a short distance is very important, running backs need quick feet to help them make short
Leaping as locomotion The fossil record shows us that tarsiers have developed very elongated tarsals, and hind limbs (Rasmussen et al 1998). When comparing the fossil morphology to that of extant lineages of tarsier we can infer that these exaggerated features observed in the post crania have allowed for a powerful, quick movement that is highly adaptive and advantageous to predation avoidance strategies in the tarsier lineage. When observing extant tarsiers it has been recorded that upon detection
Dangerous Animals of the Great Barrier Reef According to Dennis Fulkerson, one of the Australia Explorers (1996), the Great Barrier Reef is "God's underwater playground." Indeed, everyone in the group seemed to have a fabulous time exploring the reef. However, many of the group expressed some amount of fear about snorkelling on the reef, far away from the mainland. I began to wonder if there was really that much to be afraid of. We were only told that it was not box jellyfish season, and, more
The Evolution of Primate locomotion and body Configuration After millions of years that humans separated from their relative primate how is that humans became bipedal. So many changes have happened to the human body to decide to stay on the ground and abandoned their lives in the trees. Primates evolved different body structures according to their lifestyle and the ecosystem in which they lived. As Charles Darwin natural selection stays; it could be as a result of new environments, the need for food
The Animal’s Name The waterbucks name gives it the impression that it is an animal that dwells in water, but that is infact not true. The waterbuck is a type of antelope or deer that resides near water at all times; this is what gives this animal its unique name. A group of waterbucks are identified as a herd or cluster. The males and females do not have a specific name that is used to refer to its gender, but the babies are commonly called calves. The scientific name given to the waterbuck is Kobus
all vertebrates, tunicates, and cephalochordates. To be in the phylum of chordates you must at some point in your development of life have a dorsal nerve, or hollow nerve cord which is in the central nervous system that acts as a support to the locomotion system. I will discuss the different kind of organisms along with some characteristics of the organisms found in the chordates phylum, I will then break down some specific species within the phylum group and will discuss their individual characteristic
study and classify living organisms, best known as taxonomists, have divided them into categories, taking as a definition pattern the principal features of each species. In this manner, the living organisms can be classified into five Kingdoms: Animal, Plants, Fungi, Bacteria,
are all derived from the same phylum, they are considerably unique to one another. Most of these classes do not look similar visually but there are multiple common features that determine their place amongst the phylum Echinodermata. Unlike most animals today, echinoderms still exhibit features that may consider them primitive. They show lack cephalisation (compartmentalization of particular areas of the body), pentamerous radial body organisation and symmetry amongst the adults and lack of specialised
speculators pay to walk into an animal Jailhouse. “Even the best zoos today are based on captivity and coercion,” says Jon Coe, the legendary zoo designer (Worland). These places of entertainment come across as heaven on earth for the animals, let alone those who get the chance to work with the animals appear to hold the best careers, but behind the names of these animal entertainment industries underlie dangerous and inhumane actions that harm both the animals and humans. The animal entertainment industry
Ted Hughes' 'The Jaguar' How effectively does Hughes convey the power of the jaguar? Ted Hughes’ poem ‘The Jaguar’ describes the animals in a zoo and their lifestyles. It also compares them to the jaguar, which is an animal that lives differently to the others in the way that it views its life. The poem depicts the jaguar as powerful, but in what way? The first line of Ted Hughes’ poem the jaguar is: “The apes yawn and adore their fleas in the sun.” From the very first three words it is
