***Students on "Medical" must complete one WebQuest assignment per week*** Staying Physically Active for a Lifetime

for the student who is medically excused A WebQuest for Physical Education

Introduction Physical education is a great time to release some energy and have fun! While you’re missing today’s physical activity, I want you to learn about a lifetime sport of your choice. Unfortunately, when you get older and finish school, you won’t have as much time to get together a large group of friends to play many physical games such as basketball or football. Lifetime sports are activities that can be played throughout your lifetime and don’t require a large group. Some examples of lifetime sports include: biking, golfing, swimming, rock climbing, tennis, canoeing and walking. There are also plenty more to choose.

Task 1. You are to select a lifetime sport or activity that seems interesting to you. Remember, a lifetime sport is an activity that you can play by yourself (or small group) for many years. 2. Learn more about this lifetime sport by exploring information on the World Wide Web.

Process 1. Review the web sites listed in the references below. You may also use websites that you are familiar with or simply use a search engine. 2. Answer ALL of the questions on the worksheet in a 5 page paper and return it to your PE teacher in a timely fashion (one assignment per 2 weeks while on medical. 7 pages total with a bibliography & title page).

Conclusion

I hope you have used this experience to research and learn about some lifetime activities that you may be interested in. Maintaining good physical fitness is made easier by doing activities we enjoy. Our activity also needs to be convenient and affordable. Good luck in all your physical endeavors and finding the right lifetime activity for you!
