PE Fair Serves as a Workout for the Mind and Body

Students engaged in a PE unit that combined teaching, creativity, problem-solving, cooperation, research and product development.

The Intermediate School PE Fair unit encouraged students to undertake independent research on one of a range of concepts they learned in class this year. 

After selecting a topic from options including fitness development, motor skill development, game creation, equipment invention, the history of sport and rhythmic collaboration, students worked in small groups to create a final project with visual aids, an oral component and a hands-on demonstration.

Students from the 4th and 5th grades showcased their projects to their peers in a science-fair-meets-gym-class environment, the Intermediate School PE Fair. Presenters each stood by their projects as younger and older students rotated through the gym, learning, moving their bodies, laughing and making connections.
