proper nutrition is essential to growth and development.

nutrients have a role in the development of an individual's health.

resources are available to assist in making nutritional choices.

individuals, families and community values influence nutritional choices.

analyze factors (e.g., geography, cultural background, convenience, advertising) that influence healthy food choices

identify organs and body systems and explain how they are affected by nutrients

apply the decision-making process when analyzing resources needed in making dietary choices

describe the role of nutrients and food sources which are important in the growth and development of healthy bodies

use print and non-print resources (e.g., Food Guide Pyramid (FGP), Dietary Guidelines for Americans, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Dairy council), to make healthful food choices in real-life situations

safety practices and procedures help to prevent injuries and provide a safe environment.

community, state and federal resources are available to assist in hazardous situations.

proper procedures must be used in emergency situations.

explain how health hazards (e.g., firearms, motorized vehicles or potentially unsafe or threatening situations) and safety practices (e.g., walking in opposite direction of violence, staying calm in dangerous situations, wearing protective gear, notifying appropriate authority) can influence their personal health

identify and describe potential hazards in and around the home and school explain how to prevent injuries

explain and practice safety procedures needed for emergencies (e.g., weather, fire, tornado, lock down) at home or school

identify life threatening emergencies and describe basic first-aid procedures for responding to a variety of life-threatening emergencies (e.g., choking, broken bones, shock, poisons, burns, allergic reactions, bleeding)

identify and access the available local, state and federal health and safety agencies (e.g., health departments, Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Guard) and explain the services they provide

use reliable safety resources and guidelines to help in avoiding injuries and dangerous situations (e.g., internet use, vehicles, firearms, watercraft)

identify and practice (e.g., role play, simulation) communications skills needed in emergency situations

movement concepts, principles, strategies and tactics apply to the learning and performance of physical activities.

motor skills need to be refined, combined and varied in the development of specialized skills (e.g., serving, catching with a glove, dribbling, punting.

interpret the role that principles of motor skill refinements (e.g. accuracy, technique, movement) have in skill development

demonstrate increased competence in motor skills for individual, dual and team activities

use non-locomotor, locomotor and combination skills to demonstrate movements in creative sequences and in simple patterned dances, games and other activities

improve techniques to achieve consistency in performance of fundamental manipulative skills (e.g., throwing, catching, kicking, dribbling, striking) for participation in games and activities

demonstrate and explain how transitional motor skills (e.g., punting, serving, dribbling) are impacted by space, force and time

leisure/recreational or competitive physical activities provide opportunities for self-expression, social interactions and can be enjoyable and challenging.

intrinsic values and other benefits (physical, emotional/mental, social) are gained by regular participation in leisure/recreational or competitive activities.

techniques, strategies and practice are important for improving performance of sport skills.

rules impact effective participation in physical activities.

personal and social behavior that shows respect to self and others impacts enjoyment and safety in physical activity settings.

regular participation in health-related, physical activity supports the goals of fitness and a healthier lifestyle throughout life.

fitness principles and techniques are used to improve/maintain physical health.

identify moderate to vigorous physical activities that will provide for personal enjoyment and health benefits

examine and analyze the personal benefits derived from regular participation in leisure/recreational or competitive physical activities

evaluate the relationship between effort and skill improvement

demonstrate and apply the technique of practice progression to personal skill development

access and describe techniques (e.g., practice, lessons, videos, drills, peer/teacher review, self-evaluation)

for improving performance in games and sports

participate regularly in physical activity

when participating in a variety of physical activities, sports and games:<ul><li>identify and apply rules of behavior and fair play (e.g., accepting authoritative decisions, assessing one's own performance level, accepting skills and abilities of others through verbal and nonverbal actions for spectators and/or participants)</li><li>demonstrate sportsmanship, cooperation, teamwork and conflict resolution</li><li>recognize and use safety principles, rules, procedures and etiquette</li><li>describe how offensive and defensive strategies are used in games and sports; create, explore and devise strategies for games or physical activities</li></ul>

explain the components of fitness (muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, body composition, cardio-respiratory endurance) and how the FITT Principle (Frequency, Intensity, Type, Time) can be used to maintain and improve fitness

identify and assess lifetime activities (e.g., bowling, tennis, swimming, walking) that enhance the health-related fitness

investigate how the systems of the body affect an individual's personal fitness level

explain the relationship of nutrition and exercise to physical fitness
