Students will explore seconds as a measurement of time. Group students in
pairs; give each group a pencil and a Stopwatch sheet. The teacher will start
the stopwatch and one student of each pair will do the activity while his/her
partner counts how many sit ups, jumping jacks, hops ...etc. their partner does
during the allotted time. The counting partner will record the results on the
Stopwatch sheet. Switch roles.
Have students do the timed activities more than once to provide an opportunity
at bettering their time.
? How many sit-ups can you do in 30 seconds?
? How many jumping jacks can you do in 30 seconds?
? How many times can you touch your toes and stand straight again in 1
minute?
? How many times can you hop on one foot in 30 seconds?
Make a bar graph on the board using the activity sheet results from every pair.
