California Physical Education Content Standards Grade 6

Standard 1:Standard 2:Standard 3:Standard 4:Standard 5:California Physical Education Content Standards Grade 7Demonstrate motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety ofphysical activities.Demonstrate knowledge of movement concepts, principles, and strategies as they applyto learning and performance of physical activities.Assess and maintain a level of physical fitness to improve health and performance.Demonstrate knowledge of physical fitness concepts, principles, and strategies toimprove health and performance.Demonstrate and utilize knowledge of psychological and sociological concepts,principles, and strategies as applied to learning and performance of physical activities.*The sample activities listed here are the vehicles through which standards can be addressed. For example,a tag game can address standards 1 and 3, but it is how the activity is taught that will address standards 2, 4and 5. By simply playing a tag game, a student may not be able to explain how changing speed anddirection can allow one to move away from the tagger. The teacher must provide this information as acomplement to the activity in order to meet standards 2, 4, and 5. Students discover answers byplaying/participating and then being asked the question (debrief). They may never have thought of thatquestion on their own. It’s the teacher’s role to pose these questions in order to make students think on thislevel.
