Standard Course of Study Goals and Objectives
Health
7.1 Complete a health-related personal fitness test and achieve

assignments.
3.5 Apply search and sort strategies used in a database.
3.6 Create/modify and use spreadsheets to solve problems related to
content areas.
3.7 Explain the rationale for choosing charts/tables or graphs to
best represent data.
Teacher's Lesson Goals/Objectives:
The students will take a physical fitness test and enter their
results into a database. The database will help them determine
if their scores are at acceptable levels. Then students will
chart their scores after their Spring test to see their growth or
improvements.
Materials/Resources Needed:
Stop watch
Jump rope
Pull up bar
Mats
1/2 track
Datasheet to enter scores before entering them into the computer.
Laptop
AppleWorks database and spreadsheet
Printer
Paper
Pre Activities:
Set up physical fitness stations and computer station for entering
data as they finish their tests.
Activities:
Fall
Students will rotate through the following stations: student ID
number, curl-ups, sit-ups, 1/2 mile jog, and jump rope and
record their personal scores on a worksheet.
As students finish each going through all of the stations, students
will enter their personal scores into a database.
Students will analyze the data in the database to see how many
curl-ups, sit-ups, 1/2 mile jog, and jump rope to find the highest
personal scores for each event.
Students will find the percentage of those who scored national
average or above on each event.
Spring,
Students will rotate through the following stations: curl-ups,
sit-ups, 1/2 mile jog, and jump rope and record their personal
scores on a worksheet.
As students finish each going through all of the stations, students
will enter their personal scores into a database.
Students will analyze the data in the database to see how many
curl-ups, sit-ups, 1/2 mile jog, and jump rope to find the highest
personal scores for each event.
Student will analyze the data to see if they have improved and by
how much.
Students will find the percentage of those who scored national
average or above on each event.
Database information is copied and pasted into AppleWorks
Spreadsheet and bar graphs are created to see increase in physical
fitness of individuals. A pie graph will show the percent of
students who made at or above national standards.
NOTE: Small schools may skip the database activity and
enter their information into a spreadsheet.
