Twenty great elementary level field day activities/ideas that emphasize fun and team building over skill.
30 Second PSA is designed to be a way to assess students on what was learned during their time in Health Class. Students must put together a 30 second public service announcement about a topic covered in class and may work with another student to do so. Topics are chosen by having a class discussion about what was covered over the course of the quarter/semester/etc. Students can use any means they choose to demonstrate their knowledge (video, presentation, rap/poetry, skit, etc.) but it needs to be sussinct and to the point.
Lesson activity will provide learning activity for a lead-up hockey skill (Striking, long implement). Offensive and defensive strategy, teamwork and sportsmanship are also an important aspect of the lesson.
Students will learn about the 5 Languages of Love and the definitions of all of them. They will then "guess" which one is their primary language. After "guessing" they will take a self-assessment and find out what their primary love language is. We will then discuss what they can do with this information.

We used first and last names. Every letter is an activity. You could spell answers to review questions, random questions, or vocab words. Possibilities are endless! Work individually or as a group. Make it fit for your curriculum and environment.
150 low- and high-fidelity simulations and serious games scenarios created for Nursing, Respiratory Therapy, EMT-Paramedic, Medical Assistant and Pharmacy Technician programs. Nursing scenarios are aligned with WTCS Statewide Nursing Curriculum. Simulation documents can be used as standalone scenarios or as augmented reality scenarios using the free, open source iOS "ARIS" app on iPads.

Anatomy Arcade makes basic human anatomy come alive by using activities that allow for interactive learning by students. The site includes interactive games involving the following body systems: skeletal, articular, muscular, circulatory, respiratory, nervous, digestive, endocrine, and general anatomy. The activities included are crossword puzzles, matching, word searches, study videos, and integrated biology videos.
Students explore Hooke's law while working in small groups at their lab benches. They collect displacement data for springs with unknown spring constants, k, by adding various masses of known weight. After exploring Hooke's law and answering a series of application questions, students apply their new understanding to explore a tissue of known surface area. Students then use the necessary relationships to depict a cancerous tumor amidst normal tissue by creating a graph in Microsoft Excel.
Scoring sheet to use during an archery unit. The students can play the game cricket much like the dart game cricket. The students will need to shoot 3 arrows per round and the goal is to hit all the rings (10) 3 times. This is usually done as a group effort and the 1st team to hit all the rings 3xs wins.
This is a quick way to assess whether or not students can apply the 7 fundamental steps of archery after those steps have been taught and practiced.
Students learn more about how muscles work and how biomedical engineers can help keep the muscular system healthy. Following the engineering design process, they create their own biomedical device to aid in the recovery of a strained bicep. They discover the importance of rest to muscle recovery and that muscles (just like engineers!) work together to achieve a common goal.
Students are presented with a hypothetical scenario in which they are biomedical engineers asked to design artificial hearts. Using the engineering design process as a guide, the challenge is established and students brainstorm to list everything they might need to know about the heart in order to create a complete mechanical replacement (size, how it functions, path of blood etc.). They conduct research to learn the information and organize it through various activities. They research artificial heart models that have already been used and rate their performance in clinical trials. Finally, they analyze the data to identify the artificial heart features and properties they think work best and document their findings in essay form.
This is a PowerPoint to be utilized during the Human Growth and Development Unit. It covers fertilization, development of a fetus, pregnancy and delivery, as well as complications of pregnancy and delivery.
CSAI has collaborated with the Reform Support Network to share this Assessment Design Toolkit. The Toolkit includes videos and supplemental materials to help teachers write and select well-designed assessments. Although the primary audience is teachers and principals, district and State leaders can use the Toolkit to design professional development opportunities.
Teachers and administrators may use this resource to learn why sound assessment practices are critical to foster learning and how the different tools serve different purposes; find out what assessment results are telling you about students and learn what makes a quality assessment; and integrate assessment into teaching and the importance of keeping students invested in their own learning.
Students learn more about assistive devices, specifically biomedical engineering applied to computer engineering concepts, with an engineering challenge to create an automatic floor cleaner computer program. Following the steps of the design process, they design computer programs and test them by programming a simulated robot vacuum cleaner (a LEGO® robot) to move in designated patterns. Successful programs meet all the design requirements.
This is a great cooperative activity that allows students to meet and greet one another.
The Balance It App is a Task Card Resource and a simple and easy way to provide students with visual prompts to help them develop Gymnastic skills. It is well worth the $1.99. There are over 60 balances that progressively build up in difficulty, allowing students to develop their static balance and team work skills. Balances range from Indiviual Balances, to balances of two, three, five, and large group balances.
This seminar-style course challenges students to look closely at the environment of Baltimore City's complex food systems and to consider what it would take to improve these systems to assure access for all to nutritious, adequate, affordable and sustainably produced food. Students "go backstage" with tour guides at sites including a supermarket, a corner store, an emergency food distribution center, and a farm connected to the city school system. Students learn about the types of food available at these sites, who uses them, relevant aspects of their operations, and site-relevant key barriers to and opportunities for providing access to healthier food, ideally with reduced environmental harm. They also conduct oral history interviews about food with elderly city residents to understand how food access has changed over the years. Class discussions, lectures, readings, and guest speakers support critical thinking, and provide background and frameworks for understanding the experiential sessions. Lectures and discussions consider applicability of lessons gained from the study of Baltimore to other area food systems. Throughout, students consider the relative impacts of access, demand, and stakeholder interests, and consider the relative strengths of voluntary, governmental, legal and other strategies. For their final papers, students apply the Intervention Decision Matrix to selected aspects of the city's food systems and food environments, identifying challenges and opportunities for change, incorporating lessons learned from other food systems and programs, and discussing implications beyond Baltimore .
