Ultimate Frisbee

During P.E our class participated in Ultimate Frisbee which is a physical sport which involves A set of cones, two equal teams and a Frisbee. The aim of this games is to get the Frisbee to the your own end zone without running with it, to score your team must pass the Frisbee around to your fellow team mates as soon as you are near your end zone a player from your team must cachet the Frisbee in it, for the defending team you must stop the opposite team from scoring by catching the Frisbee or either knocking in out, But if you knock it out or drop the Frisbee then it is a handover.

My engagement during our practical session was medium which puts me at a achieved level, I have graded my self at an achieved because my participation was fair but I could have done a lot better at defending the end zone, furthermore I have also graded myself this because my team-mate skill where poor.

Three factors that influenced me throughout the game was the challenge, I have chosen this factor because with the challenge of us losing throughout the game it encouraged our team to try harder.
Another key factor that influenced me was environment this influenced me because our game was based outside where it was windy, and where the end-zone was based our team had the upper advantage because the wind blow in our direction. My third factor is fun and enjoyment I have chosen this because ultimate Frisbee is a cool game which i really enjoy to play by playing a game which i enjoy it made me try more.

Sir Isaac Newton

Sir Isaac Newton was a former scientist that lived between the 16-17 hundreds, He was widely known for his hypothesis of the law of motion and universal gravitational. Sir Isaac Newton was born in woolsthorpe manor, United kingdom,

Sir Isaac Newton is known for his theory about the 3 laws of motion which his first law is the law of inertia, Meaning an object will remain stationary or in motion unless an unbalanced force  is acted upon it for example A ball will stay stationary unless a force (foot) is acted on it, e.g your foot kicking the ball,

 His second law of motion is the law of acceleration meaning the greater the mass the more force needed  to accelerate it e.g if their were two balls with an unequal mass then for one ball you will have to apply more force than the other, with the equation F= M x A.

 Newtons third and final law is the law of action and reaction meaning with every action there is an equal an opposite reaction an example is if you jump on a trampoline the action is you jumping and the equal and opposite reaction is the trampoline pushing you up.

The game inertia ball demonstrated the three laws of motion, The first law of inertia was shown in the game when we had to throw the smaller balls at the big ball, It was shown when the force of the thrown ball hit the staple big ball causing in to move. The second law (law of acceleration) was shown when we threw the basketball with the basketball having a greater mass the force had a stronger impact then the tennis ball did.

Badminton

In our P.E session we played badminton, The equipment that is needed to play badminton is rackets, shuttle and nets. In the game badminton you can either play in peers of two or single. The game badminton is similar to tennis except the net used to play in badminton is higher and much smaller in width. The aim of this game is to hit the shuttle on to the opposition's side if the shuttle hit's the ground then it is a point.

My level of engagement in badminton was a merit I have chosen this because my team manged to win every game we played. The three factors that have influenced me while playing this game would be previous experience,Fun and enjoyment and skill level. I have chosen these three because i think that they really help me.

Previous experience I have chosen this factor because coming from another school I was able to play this game a lot during there p.e session giving me more experience. Will coming to school it gives me more than my another classmates from my new school. My second factor is fun and enjoyment i have chosen this because i like playing badminton and by our class getting to play the game it pushed me to try harder. My third and final factor is skill level which kinda leads on to my first factor i have chosen this factor because me having a lot of experience it helped me to learn more skills and techniques which helped me our game.

Sepak Takraw

During our practical in p.e our class participated in a unusual sport that originated in south east Asia called Sepak Takraw, The game Sepak Takraw is similar to volleyball but there are two main difference  in Sepak Takraw you can use any part of your body except your arms the second difference is the ball that  is used in the game is much smaller and either made out of flax or wood.  When our class played this game we where set in to teams of three of our own choosing with four groups, Once into our groups we played each other.

My level of effort and engagement during this game was a M, I have given my self this grade because without having any experience or knowledge about this game our team still manged to play, Moreover in my team I was able to use my head to score leading on to the winning point, The Three main factors that influenced me throughout the lesson were challenge,fun/enjoyment and completion.

Challenge this factor influenced me because the challenge of learning a new sport in a short time period made me to pay attention more so that I could play the game also with the challenge of playing the game without using your arms made the game more fun, furthermore If it would have been another sport that I was familiar with then I don't think that I would pay attention more.

Secondly with the second factor fun/enjoyment, the fact that we played without using our arms it made the game fun, when at beginning of the session when the teacher mentioned that there were no arms or hands involved it seemed weird but then further in the game in made the game more enjoyable because it was a new experiences were as in most sport's you use you feet and hands and arms mostly. By not using my hands or arms it also made more experienced and familiar with using my feet,head,knees and back.

Third and finally the competition influenced me the most out of all my factors because with every class student not knowing how to play it increased the competition level, By increasing the competition level it also made us more interactive and fun which leads on to having my former factors. If the competition level was easy then the game wouldn't be fun or interesting and I don't think that I would have my factors.

Balance and stability

Balance and stability, Balance Is the force around you that keeps you upright, and stability is the ability to resist disruption to balance, and return to balance if disruption occurs, Our task was to explore the 3 types which keep you upright which are the line of gravity, centre of mass and base of support.

If you where to increase your  balance and stability you would need to widen your support so that you would be more stable and have more support, you would also need to lower your centre of gravity and apply force towards an unstable force.

In P.E we where set a task which was related to balance and stability our task was to perform certain pose's which outlined the 3 types of gravity.  The task involved a certain number of students to perform the pose's with which then leaded on with our whole class doing a human pyramid, I strongly thought that this activity was a waste of time but further on my opinion changed. 

The Musculoskeletal system

There are Three types of muscle are skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles, The skeletal muscle is the muscle that moves the body, skeletal muscle pull on tendons which are attached to the bone making the body part move, smooth muscle helps your blood to flow better and also helps to push out urine where as the cardiac muscle helps you to pump blood through your body with the main cardiac muscle being you heart.

Agonist and antagonist- Agonist is the muscles which causes movement through the own activation, an example is the triceps brachii contracts, making a shortening contraction, during the up phase of a push-up (elbow extension), An Antagonist is the part when a muscle contracts the other muscle relaxes.

Some Movements in your body are Extension and flexion, Extension is straitening and extending of the joint to increase the angle between two bones or body parts. an example of this is knee extension, When standing up, the knees are extended. An example of Extension is when the hip or shoulder moves the backward towards the side of the body, A Weightlifter for example lifts the weight above head head which then the back hip extends to stay up right, Flexion is the movement which decrease the inner angel of the joint an example is when a bodybuilder flex's to shows his muscle.

 In our class we did an activity which was related to the Musculoskeletal system, the activity involved groups of three which then one person from the group would put on a suit from their the other two would label the bones and muscle that were in the body, This activity helped us to revise with our labelling on the muscle and bones and also the movements that they did, moreover with the body parts that we had gotten wrong we knew what the types of muscle and bones to focus on.  

Bench Ball

Bench ball is a game which involves two even teams, Benchball involves two bench and balls the aim of benchball is too get your team onto the opposition bench well the opposition does the same. Every team has it’s own side if a member of the opposition team come onto your side you have a chance to touch them if you touch them then they must return back to their own side to try again, once the first person from your team is on the bench then you must throw a ball to them if they catch the ball you have a chance to run onto the bench but you must not get tagged from the opponent.

My participation in benchball was Merit due to the effort and engagement, I have chosen merit because during the game of benchball my defense and offense skills were good an example is when people from the opposition team tried to get past when I defended the Bench, Furthermore my offense was good because I managed to get onto the bench I was motivated by my goal to beat the opposition team.

Three key factors that help me in benchball were + challenge I have chosen this factor because with the opposition team being a challenging team it increased my level of engagement, this increased my level of engagement because by having a challenge I was able to set my mind to beating the opponents, moreover without having a challenging team then I wouldn't have tried much harder than I did so by having a challenge it increased my level of participation.

Another key factor that I have chosen is + friends and classmates and how we were eager to beat the other team this helped us because it made us more defensive by having a competition we were able to improve on our tactical skills and planning an example is when we collaborated cooperatively together making a plan which improved on our scoring by having friends and classmates in my team it made my level of participation increase.  

The final factor that I have chosen is + previous experience and how at my old school we would play benchball I have chosen this factor because by having previous experiences with bench ball I was familiar with tactics and strategies to use during the game. By having the previous experience this made me want to play more, so this factor increased my participation.

If I was to increase my participation level I would be more involved throughout the game for example helping others to get to the bench by distracting the other team.
