Interdisciplinary Lesson
For this interdisciplinary assignment, I plan on having my students run an experiment on their exercise activity over the course of two weeks. I will be applying standards from both Physical Education and Science with eighth graders in this case. For this assignment, students will be put into pairs and asked to run a half-mile four days a week for two weeks. Eighth grade P.E. Common Core Standard 3.4 Participate in moderate to vigorous physical activity a minimum of four days each week. Eighth grade Science Common Core Standard 9. Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations. As a basis for understanding this concept and addressing the content in the other three strands, students should develop their own questions and perform investigations. Students will: a. Plan and conduct a scientific investigation to test a hypothesis. b. Evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of data. c. Distinguish between variable and controlled ...
