Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 3 Basic Science & Technology. In our previous lesson, we learned about Locomotor Movements. Today, we’re going to learn about Manipulative Movements.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to: * Define manipulative movement. * Identify throwing, catching, kicking, and heading. * Demonstrate throwing, catching, kicking, and heading.
Manipulative Movements
Manipulative movements are actions that involve using our hands, feet, or other body parts to control objects.
What are Manipulative Movements?
Manipulative movements are actions that involve using our hands, feet, or other body parts to control objects. These movements are important for physical development and coordination, which are essential for various sports and daily life activities.
Some of the examples of manipulative movements include: * Throwing: This involves using your arm and hand to propel an object through the air. For example, throwing a ball, frisbee, or a paper airplane. * Catching: This involves using your hands to stop a moving object. For example, catching a ball, a frisbee, or a butterfly net. * Kicking: This involves using your foot to propel an object. For example, kicking a ball, a can, or a soccer ball. * Heading: This involves using your head to propel an object. For example, heading a soccer ball, a volleyball, or a basketball.
Evaluation Questions
Now that you’ve learned about Manipulative Movements, let’s see if you can answer these questions:
- What is the definition of manipulative movements?
- Can you name one of the manipulative movements we discussed today?
- Why is it important to practice these movements?
- How can you improve your skills in throwing, catching, kicking, and heading?
- Can you think of any other examples of manipulative movements that we didn’t discuss today?
Conclusion
We learned that manipulative movements are actions that involve using our hands, feet, or other body parts to control objects. We also learned about some of the different types of manipulative movements, such as throwing, catching, kicking, and heading. These movements are important for physical development and coordination, and they can be used in many different sports and activities.
