Download or read book Fun and Games written by Anthony Dowson and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2005 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than 20 years of coaching and teaching experience, UK authors Anthony Dowson and Keith Morris have realized that children's encounters with sporting activities need to be creative, entertaining and fun. Children can be encouraged to engage in physical activity through fun games that stimulate both body and mind. Fun games keep children healthy and active now as well as contribute to a more positive attitude towards physical activity for life. In response to numerous requests from teachers and coaches, the authors have developed and adapted an array of activities and games from their own everyday use when teaching children. The book contains a range of warm-up ideas, games, skill practices and sport-specific activities to motivate children and encourage active participation. The games use only common sport equipment and are supported by easy-to-follow instructions and illustrations. Useful in both planning and providing physical education lessons and recreational experiences, this book makes it easy to create a varied and exciting program. The text includes more than 30 multi-sport games suitable for children of ages 5 to 16. There are sport-specific games for cricket, striking and fielding, rugby, soccer, tennis, badminton and hockey, as well as parachute games. All activities are designed to improve children's skills in specific sports through the use of enjoyable games to promote learning. Each game offers multiple variations designed to suit a wide range of ages and abilities. With childhood obesity becoming increasingly common, children's physical activity is becoming more important. Healthy, active young people now mean a future generation of adults less affected by the health problems associated with obesity and inactive lifestyles. Anyone who has the responsibility of organizing activities for young people will find the ideas in Fun and Games invaluable. Through the practical games in this book, children will develop new skills as they participate in fun and enjoyable activities.

Download or read book Physical Education for Students With Autism Spectrum Disorders written by Michelle Grenier and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current estimates are that 1 out of 88 children will be diagnosed with some form of autism. Planning a curriculum that includes all students, including those with ASD, can be a challenging task but well worth the effort. This book identifies strategies that highlight students’ skills, interests, and abilities though collaborative practices, environmental design, and assistive technologies. Physical Education for Students With Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Comprehensive Approach • introduces the inclusion spectrum as a tool to help teachers analyze appropriate instruction for students, aligning abilities with curriculum and activity context; • provides information on tools such as scripts, video modeling, social stories, and choice boards to assist teachers in developing programs; • presents a variety of activities that teachers can choose from to help students with ASD develop social and motor skills; and • assimilates best practices from general and adapted PE as well as autism training and research that offer solutions for increased student engagement in physical education. Written by contributors with extensive experience in developing inclusive programming for students with ASD, Physical Education for Students With Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Comprehensive Approach is ideal for physical education and adapted physical education courses across the K-12 curriculum. Part I provides an understanding of students with ASD that offers insights from parents’ and teachers’ perspectives. From there, the authors examine the application of the inclusion spectrum that helps teachers plan for appropriate instruction. Readers will also find communication and social learning tools they can use to minimize the stress students may experience while optimizing learning experiences. Assessment protocols assist with the development of relevant IEP goals and objectives. Part II contains individualized and group games and activities that enhance lifelong learning for students with ASD. Physical Education for Students With Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Comprehensive Approach is a practical resource that helps teachers design optimal plans for including students with ASD in general and adapted physical education classes. The manual contains numerous strategies, tools, and resources that assist teachers with individualizing instruction in ways that foster positive peer relationships as well as development of social and motor skills. It’s a win-win situation for all—teachers, parents, and most of all the students.

Download or read book The Great Einstein Relativity Hoax and Other Science Questions Hypotheses and Improbabilities written by Page Truitt and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are looking for a top-rated science textbook, this is not the book for you. If you are looking for a reiteration of the historical progression of the physical sciences by a well-educated, experienced scientist, this book's not for you. However, if you are interested in considering logical thinking that is outside the scientific box and that challenges conventional science concepts, this may be the book for you.The entire first section presents a logical, convincing argument that concludes that the problem Einstein solved with his special theory of relativity never existed in the first place. There is nothing wrong with his reasoning or mathematical equations that address the problem he believed existed. There just was not a real problem to begin with. The whole section is an excellent tutorial on Einstein and relativity for anyone who is interested in understanding relativity, whether the reader agrees or disagrees with the conclusions.The second section is a tutorial on electrons and their role in the production of light, the reflection and refraction of light, and the role of electrons in the production of electricity, electronic device function, and heat. All tutorials are written in laymen's easy-to-read language.The third section examines many outside-the-box hypotheses in the realm of theoretical physics. This book is packed with easy-to-read nonmathematical explanations of physical phenomena, ranging from the appearance and properties of electrons to the construction of matter from particles and energy fields. Have you ever wondered what charge is or why electrons do not fly apart from internal repulsive forces or spiral into the nucleus of atoms? Is light a continuous wave or pulses of electromagnetic field? Why do moving electromagnetic fields not have positive and negative charge or north and south poles? How does light reflect off itself? Why is your car battery attached to the body of the car? How do atoms attract to form molecules when their electrons repel one another? These and other questions are answered, often in unconventional ways, but others may not be answered at all. If you need a science research project or a dissertation idea, this book is for you. If you do not need it for a project but you just have an interest in better understanding science, this book is for you. If you have an open mind enough to at least consider alternate ways of thinking about scientific concepts and principles, this book is definitely for you.
