In this problem-based learning module, students will be asked to brainstorm ideas and think innovatively both independently and collaboratively in addressing a real-world problem that is relevant to their daily lives and  health.  Are students aware of their calorie intake and how it affects their overall health? Students will investigate the calories consumed in a typical day and how much physical activity is needed to stay healthy and fit.  Students/teams will be encouraged to use the internet for research purposes in their design phase. Students will utilize various online platforms to design an infographic that can be shared with relevant individuals in the community and others in the school building

Students will research and analyze 5 common basketball infractions; identifying why they are fouls and what the appropriate penalty would be.

This lesson was created for use in the elemenatry PE classroom. It can be adapted for all age groups and ability levels. It allows flexibility for skills of all students.

Tribal nations and Indigenous communities throughout North America have always enjoyed games and athletic activities that provide entertainment, teach skills of physical and mental endurance, promote tribal values such as teamwork and fairness, and allow individuals and teams to challenge themselves in competition. These games and activities range from the simple hand (or“stick”) game that dates back thousands of years to the modern-day Indian Relay Races that oftendraw large crowds. Even in the pre-contact era there were some similarities in the games playedby tribes in a given region or even in completely different parts of the country, but there were also many variations in the rules, materials, and methods of play. In this lesson, students will learn how to play one version of the hand game and will hear about some of the variations in the playing materials and rules used by different tribes in Oregon. Students will learn to take cues from opponents to identify the hand that holds the chosen item.

The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Anticoagulation is the cornerstone of therapy for venous thromboembolism, or VTE, in cancer patients, but it may also cause bleeding. Recent studies examining the frequency of these events have primarily focused on the elderly population. A new report in the American Journal of Hematology aimed to take a closer look at the effects of the drugs in younger patients. The work specifically focused on cancer patients who were predominantly under 65 years of age. Researchers evaluated the recurrence of VTE and major bleeding following treatment of a first episode of VTE. Using a retrospective cohort study design, they assessed the outcomes of nearly 14,000 commercially-insured patients initiated on rivaroxaban, warfarin, or low-molecular-weight heparin. Only data from patients with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism were included. Patients were required to have initiated anticoagulation within 7 days of their VTE..."
