PDF version of this page - (best for printing)

Objectives:
For students to experience physical activity outside a school setting
Present opportunities to students that the school can’t offer
Learn the basics to wall climbing
Learn team work and trust in an applied setting
CEL’s: communication, critical and creative thinking, technological literacy

Instructional Method: field trip

Materials:
Change of gym clothes
All of the climbing equipment will be provided

Estimated Time:
60 minutes plus travel time

Before the trip: Assuming parents signed waiver forms already, information forms will be cleared with the principal, and then sent home to parents a week in advance. The rock climbing area supervisor will have been notified in advance, or the rock wall will have been booked for the class.

Motivational Set:
This will probably not be required because the students will get a chance to be active in a new activity. Mention the trip a week in advance to excite the students.

Procedure/Activities:
The students will first get training from an instructor on how to use the equipment and rock climbing discourse properly. They will have to partner up because it requires a climber and a belae (student who operates rope). Students will alternate between climbs. An hour of climbing should be enough to tire them out.

Key Question:
Was it challenging? Is it something that you would like to do in the future? Why? What muscle groups are used for wall climbing? Follow up the next day with: What muscles are sore in your bodies?

Summary of Lesson:
In key questions

Data to be Collected on Student Learning and Evaluation Criteria
The participation level and students’ enthusiasm can be used to evaluate. Wall Climbing discourse will be on unit test.
