Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 3 Basic Science and Technology. In our previous lesson, we learned about No previous lesson found.. Today, we’re going to learn about Non-Locomotor Movements.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- Define Non-Locomotor Movements.
- List three examples of Non-Locomotor Movements.
- Express appreciation for the importance of Non-Locomotor Movements.
- Participate in group activities related to Non-Locomotor Movements.
Non-Locomotor Movements
What are Non-Locomotor Movements?
Non-Locomotor Movements are body movements that occur while staying in one place. They are movements that don’t involve traveling from one point to another.
Some of the main Non-Locomotor Movements include:
- Twisting: Turning your body from side to side, like when you’re doing a dance move.
- Bending: Folding your body at the joints, like when you’re reaching for something.
- Stretching: Extending your limbs and muscles, like when you’re waking up in the morning.
- Turning: Rotating your body around a central axis, like when you’re spinning in a circle.
- Swinging: Moving your body back and forth, like when you’re on a swing set.
- Swaying: Moving your body gently from side to side, like when you’re listening to music.
- Pushing: Applying force against an object, like when you’re opening a door.
- Pulling: Applying force to draw an object towards you, like when you’re pulling a rope.
Evaluation Questions
Now that you’ve learned about Non-Locomotor Movements, let’s see if you can answer these questions:
- What is the definition of Non-Locomotor Movements?
- List three examples of Non-Locomotor Movements.
- Can you describe a time when you used a Non-Locomotor Movement in your daily life?
- Why are Non-Locomotor Movements important for our health and well-being?
Conclusions or Summary
We’ve learned that Non-Locomotor Movements are important for our physical development and overall health. They help us improve our flexibility, balance, and coordination. Remember to practice these movements regularly and have fun while doing so! 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!
