The document provides the details of an assignment for Grade 10 students to design and create an object or activity that can help increase physical activity. Students are asked to 3D print or laser cut their creation and demonstrate it to the class. They must also submit a one-page rationale explaining how their creation can increase physical activity. Examples of success criteria include properly explaining the rules and use of the activity, demonstrating how it appeals to different audiences and age groups, and reflecting on the design process.

This activity was created to be utilized as a summative assessment specifically within in a Grade 10 Health and Physical PPLO2. However it could be adapted to suit the needs or expectations of other courses if desired.
The essential question(s):
How can we ourselves increase our daily physical activity within our lives and/or what can we do to help increase the amount of daily physical activity in other people's lives
Big idea(s): Anything with some creativity can be a created or turned into a game or way to help increase daily physical activity
Overall Expectations: A2. demonstrate an understanding of the importance of being physically active, and apply physical fitness concepts and practices that contribute to healthy, active living; C1. demonstrate an understanding of factors that contribute to healthy development; C2. demonstrate the ability to apply health knowledge and living skills to make reasoned decisions and take appropriate actions relating to their personal health and well-being
The Assignment: Your task is to design and create an object, tools or equipment piece that can help increase physical activity in your or someone else's life. Your creation can be an entirely new activity or it can make alteration to already existing activities, but it needs to be distinct change in an already existing activity. Your creation will be made using, 3D printer or laser cutter The final creation will be demonstrated to class you can choose from a variety of different methods, video, live demonstration, detailed explanation + diagrams, powerpoint. Students in class will then attempt to successfully play game/ do the activity in class. A one page rationale that explains the reasoning for you creation and how it can be used to increase physical activity or health in someone's life.
Specific Guidelines & Success Criteria
Description & Rules: -What is your object/game or physical activity? (Video, explanation + demo) -How do we use the creation? -Can any variations be made to the activity? -Extended thinking: what if a 3D printer or laser cutter was not available? what is something that already exists or could be altered to attain similar object to your creation? Reasoning: -Does it appeal to a certain audience? Is it specific to a certain settings or events? -What age group will play it? Does everyone need the same amount of (Daily Physical Activity) DPA? How could this creation help contribute to increasing their DPA? Process and Critical Reflection: Why did you choose this activity? How could you promote your activity so people would actually try/play your game? Why you like or are proud of what you created? What you could have done to improve your project? What you liked or did not like about this project? ASSIGNMENT: Creating Activity - Grade 10 (PPLO2)
Example: The Flip Game
Description & Rules:
During the past year a new activity of bottle flipping has become a trend amongst young individuals. The idea behind bottle flipping is to throw the partially filled water bottle into the air and have it land right side up. The idea behind my game The Flip Game is that 2 or more individuals will line up at a set distance away from a table or ledge and attempt to flip the object through the air and land right side up. Players must run grab the object and return to the designated throwing line before attempting another throw/flip. The first player or team (depending on number of players) that successfully flips and lands their objects wins. This game can be altered to resemble a H.O.R.S.E. where teams choose unique flipping styles and landing areas that the second team must replicate or they receive a letter (i.e. H). The first team to collect all 5 letters of HORSE loses.
Reasoning: By taking a trendy activity and creating it into a game that includes some friendly competition and physical activity, it increase the appeal for young individuals. This type/style of game is closely related to bocce ball, which is excellent social game that allows for physical activity during a family gathering, or weekend barbeque. The .. Guidelines for physical activity for adults is 150 minutes/week and for young adolescents is 60min/day (source). Receiving the required amount or more of this physical activity can be difficult for some individuals. Providing fun-social games that people of all ages can play will help increase the likelihood of reaching the canadian guidelines.
Process and Critical Reflection:
I personally enjoy target sports, I find them an excellent leisurely pastime to help increase my amount of moderate daily physical activity. I also think bottle flipping is currently a trendy activity so that played a factor in my decision making process. The fact that it is a current trend could help with promotion of my activity. Posting a video online via social media could be a method of promoting it to others. Also setting up a station in the hallways of our school during lunch for students to play would help with promotion. Overall I am most proud of how I took a simple idea from my mind created a design and actually physically printed and created the tactile object. I think that if I had better practise with 3D printing my object may have turned out better. Also target sports are sometimes criticized for not being very vigorously active. If I choose a sport or game that involved more physical activity that would benefit individuals trying to reach their recommended guidelines. Finally I liked this project again because we physically got to make and keep something. I created a game that I can play with my friends or family during social events and that to me is pretty exciting. ASSIGNMENT: Creating Activity - Grade 10 (PPLO2)
