Anatomy Unit Plan
California Standards:
1.1.S Discuss ways to reduce the risk of injuries that can occur during athletic and social activities.
1.1 Demonstrate advanced knowledge and skills in two or more aerobic activities
1.4 Identify and apply the principles of biomechanics necessary for the safe and successful performance of aerob ic
activities.
1.1 Explain the principles of biomechanics of first-, second-, and third-class levers and apply those principles to a variety
of lifting techniques.
2.2 Identify the prime mover muscles, antagonistic muscles, and stabilizer muscles for eac h of the major weight-training
exercises.
Big Ideas:
The main goal of this unit will be for students to properly identify, and locate, a variety of muscles. All of our focus will
be on the major muscles, or groups. Students will be quizzed on both location, as well as function. Once the students can
properly identify the muscles they will be required to also provide different exercise that would properly work the
muscles discussed in class.
Knowing where the muscles are in our body, as well as how they work, will be important for any student who is looking
to stay active outside of the classroom. Whether it is the ability to know how to work certain muscles, or being able to
properly discuss, and determine, which of their muscles are sore, or have suffered apparent injury.
Unit Summary:
In this unit students will learn 15 of the major muscles in the body. Students will be able to know their location on the body, as well as what exercises will specifically target
those muscles.
Assessment Plan:
Entry-Level: Take a survey on the basics of Formative: Summative:
anatomy. Quiz on muscles and their location In groups teach the class about two different
Create flashcards listing at least five exercises exercises and the muscles they recruit
per muscle In groups create a workout of at least ten
Quiz on muscular exercises exercises and take the class through the
Final- Quiz on muscles location and exercises workout. Provide both number of sets and
used reputations.
