Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 1 Basic Science and Technology. In our previous lesson, we learned about Moving Our Body Parts – Kicking and Striking. Today, we’re going to learn about Moving our body parts.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- Demonstrate correct running and pushing.
- Identify safety rules in running and pushing.
- Identify techniques in running and pushing.
Moving Our Body Parts – Running and Pushing
Running:
Running is a physical activity where we move our legs quickly. We should run with our back straight, arms swinging by our sides, and looking ahead.
Techniques for Running:
- We must always maintain an upright posture while running. Keep your back straight and your head facing forward.
- We should swing our arms naturally in synchronization with our leg movement.
Pushing:
Pushing is a forceful action to move something away. When pushing, we need to keep our back straight, and apply force on the object we are trying to push.
Techniques for Pushing:
- Hand push: always place your hands on the object you want to push, applying force through your palms. Keep your back straight and use your legs to assist in generating power.
- Shoulder push: Lean into the object with your shoulder and use your body weight to exert force.
- Leg Push: Position yourself behind the object and use your legs to push against it.
Safety rules in running and pushing
- When running always keep your eyes forward and be aware of your surroundings. Look out for obstacles or uneven surfaces on your running path.
- Before pushing an object, check its weight and stability. Make sure you can handle it safely and that it won’t tip over or cause injury.
Evaluation:
Now that you’ve learned about moving our body parts, let’s see if you can answer these questions:
- What are the safety rules in running?
- Describe the correct running posture.
- Explain the concept of pushing.
- Give two examples of pushing techniques.
Conclusion
Today, we learned about moving our body parts, specifically running and pushing. We discussed the correct techniques, safety rules, and different ways to perform these actions. Remember to practice these skills safely and always be aware of your surroundings.
