These factor helps us in our everyday lives.

We need to be supple so we can b _ _ _ and s _ _ _ _ _.

We need stamina to keep going for a l_ _ _ time.

We need strength so we can l _ _ _ and move h_ _ _ _ things.

We need speed so we can r _ _ towards good things and a _ _ _

from bad things.

fit run long Suppleness Stamina

time heavy lift away Speed

Strength stretch bend four

We are going to find out how fit we are by measuring the four S’s

of fitness.

Experiment 1: Suppleness

Sit on the floor with your legs stretched out

straight in front of you. Reach for your toes. Get

a friend to measure how far your fingers are from

your toes and write it in the table below.

Name Distance from toes (in centimetres)

Name Number of Laps

Experiment 2: Stamina

We will find out who has the most stami-

na by running around the tennis courts as

many times as we can before we get

tired.

Experiment 3: Strength

We are going to squeeze a set of scales as

hard as we can and write down the number of

stones we get.

Name Number of stones squeezed

Experiment 4: Speed

We will find out who is the fastest by

timing how long it takes you to run across

the tennis court.

Name Time to cross the tennis court (in seconds)

Using your results answer the following questions:

Who was the most supple?..................................................

Who did the most laps/ had the most stamina? ………………………..

Who was the strongest? ………………………………..

Who ran the fastest ? ………………………………..

Our heart is a p _ _ _ . It pumps b _ _ _ _ around our body. So

that we have the e _ _ _ _ _ we need to live. Sometimes our

hearts beat s _ _ _ _ _ and sometimes our hearts beat f _ _ _ .

We are going to find out how exercise effects our heart beat

rate.

First you need to be able to find

your pulse. You can find you pulse

in two places on your wrist or

your neck. The pictures show you

how to do it.

fast pump blood energy slowly

Once you are able to find your

pulse we need to find out how many

times your heart beats in a minute

when you are sat still and calm. You

can then write the number in the

table on the next page.

Activity Heart beats per minute

Sitting still and calm

After walking around the room twice

After doing 15 star jumps

The next step is to find out how much your heart beat rate

changes when you do exercise. Complete the exercises in

the table and write down your heart beat rate after each

one.

Now draw a bar chart of your results.

Use your graph to answer the following questions.

When was your heart beat the slowest?

When was your heart beat the fastest?

Why did you heart beat faster?

Explorers need to exercise their hearts every day for at least one hour. Write active or not active under each picture.

Edward Jenner injected James Phipps the puss from a milk maids

Smallpox killed thousands of people in the past.

James Phipps got better from cowpox.

James Phipps got sick with cowpox.

There are t_ _ _ _ types of microbes: b _ _ _ _ _ _ _, v _ _ _ _ _ _,

and f_ _ _ _ .

Some microbes are bad and cause d _ _ _ _ _ _ these are called

p_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

Other microbes are good as they are u _ _ _ _ _ to us.

Micro means very s_ _ _ _ . We can not see microbes with just our

Fungi

Viruses fungi disease pathogens three Small microscope bacteria useful

Task: In the table below from the information on the power point write down or draw a picture to show how each of the microbes is bad or useful

The experiment:

We are going to do an experiment to find out how many microbes

live on our skin.

Microbes need food to grow. We can grow microbes on agar plates

because this is food for them.

Method:

1. Collect two agar plates

2. Open one of your plates and press you fingers gentle on the

top of the agar (NOT into it!)

3. Put the lid back on and sticky tape it shut

4. Write you name on the plate, the date and unwashed hand

5. Now wash your hands using soap and water.

6. Repeat steps2 to 4. but this time write clean hands on the

plate.

Next week we will be able to see if washing your hands made a dif-

ference to the number of microbes on your hands.

Results:

In the space below you can stick in or draw a picture of your

plates once they have grown.

Temperature (°C)

We found out that the ________________ made the

temperature of the water change the most.

This means the _______________ has the most energy

and the _______________ has the least energy.

If we eat too many crisps and don't do

enough exercise we will get _______.
