Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 4 Basic Science And Technology. In our previous lesson, we learned about Moving Our Body Parts. Today, we’re going to learn about Moving Our Body Parts.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- Explain the concept of non-locomotor movements such as stretching, bending, twisting, and swinging.
- Demonstrate non-locomotor movements such as stretching, bending, twisting, and swinging.
Moving Our Body Parts (Non-Locomotor Movements)
Non-locomotor movements are movements that are done without moving from one place to another. They are important for our physical health and coordination, helping us to maintain flexibility and prevent injuries.
Stretching
Stretching means making your body parts (like arms and legs) longer or reaching them as far as you can without hurting yourself. It’s like reaching up high to touch the sky or stretching your arms wide.
Bending
Bending is when you bend your body or a body part, like your waist or knees. It’s like when you bend forward to touch your toes or bend your knees to sit down.
Twisting
Twisting is turning your body or a body part, like your torso or your head, from one side to the other. It’s like twisting your body to look behind you or twisting your head to look sideways.
Swinging
Swinging is a fun movement where you move back and forth, like a pendulum. It’s like when you swing on a swing set at the playground, going back and forth in the air.
Evaluation
Now that you’ve learned about moving our body parts, let’s see if you can answer these questions:
- Can you explain what non-locomotor movements are?
- Demonstrate one non-locomotor movement of your choice.
- What are some benefits of doing non-locomotor movements?
- Can you think of any activities that involve non-locomotor movements?
Conclusion
We’ve learned about non-locomotor movements and how they help us stay healthy and coordinated. Remember to practice these movements regularly to improve your flexibility and overall well-being. Don’t forget to check the comments section if you have any questions, and use the navigation to move to the next lesson. See you in the next lesson!
