ATP-PC	0-12 seconds	When you take a shot, When you pass the ball or When you jump.
Anaerobic	12-2 minutes	First 2 minutes of the game
Aerobic	2 minutes plus	Running up and down the court the whole game.

Projectile Motion

Projectile motion is a form of motion where an object or projectile is thrown into the air. There is 3 parts of projectile motion, Angle of release, height of release and speed of release. The angle of release is the the optimal AoR can vary, the average angle release is 45 degrees but in so activity like shot put there average angle release is 32-38 degrees. Height of release is the higher the release the longer and object will travel. The Speed of release is the greater the speed, greater the height and distance the object travels. The activity we did was a rubber band activity were we had to flick the paper in the air. We had to figure out the right amount of paper to use for the paper to travel, We had to figure out how to make create the most speed to make the paper travel more further and the angle to release the paper so it can travel longer.

Levers

Today we did an activity about levers, a lever is made up of three parts effort, Load/resistance and fulcrum.

The fulcrum is like the pivot point of the lever, the effort is the forces applied and the Load is the thing that needs effort to be applied.

There are 3 classes,

 class 1 a example is an seesaw

 class 2 a example is an wheelbarrow

 class 3 a example is an arm

Lever I are used a lot in sports for example badminton, When you hit the shuttlecock with the racket your fulcrum is your hand, the efforts is your muscles in your arm used to swing the racket and the shuttlecock is the load.

In the activity we did we had to cut out and colour in shapes and had to label them, the green was effort the yellow was fulcrum and the purple was the load. We then had to shape them into each of the classes and then we had to explain why it was that class.

Force Summation

What is Force summation? Force summation is made up of 3 parts, but the all together is means adding forces together to create the greatest force as possible.

Describe the three parts of force summation? The three parts of force summation are range of motion, order of body segments and timing of body segments.

Range of motion is the greater the range of motion the greater force produced. 

Order of body segments is when forces is transferred from the largest muscles, through to the smallest muscles. 

Lastly is timing of body segments is when each body segment should be activated when the one before it has reached its peak.

Describe the activity we completed in the gym and how this related to force summation? 

The activity we did in the gym was on the rowing machine we were giving a task to go step by step for a full row. We went from only using only our hand to using our full body. This activity showed us that the more motion we use it will generate more force. This activity used all parts of force summation like order of body segments, if you want to produce the greatest force we had to start from you legs and all the way up to your arms. if I started from somewhere else it wouldn't be the same.

Newtons Law of motion

• Who is Sir Isaac Newton? Sir Isaac Newton is a scientist and philosopher who live around the 16 and 17 century. Sir Issac Newton is the person who created the laws for why things move and what cause its to move. They are called Newtons law
• Explain the 3 Laws? There are three laws which makes up the Newton laws of motion. The first one is called The law of inertia states that an object will be at rest or stay in a constant motion unless it is compelled by an external force. Law two, The law of acceleration, this law explains how the velocity of the object changes, so the law acceleration states that the greater the mass of an object the more force it will take to accelerate the object, Force = mass x acceleration (F=mxa) Law Three, The law of Action/Reaction, This law states that for every actions there is an equal and opposite reaction. For example imagine an trampoline, The action is you pushing down on the tramp and the reaction is the tramp pushing you back up the tramp.
• How did the game ‘inertia ball’ demonstrate Newton’s Laws? The game inertia ball demonstrated the newtons law a lot. The game demonstrated the law of action/reaction because when we threw the ball at the ball it would react and would bounce back to us. The game also demonstrated the law of inertia because if when we didn't throw balls and the moon ball is would stay in a constant motion going in its direction until it was hit by another ball. The game also demonstrated the law of acceleration because the amount of force on the ball depended the size of the ball, so when we threw the basketball we need more force to throw it because it was the ball with the most mass.

Ultimate Frisbee

• Explain the physical activity you participated in. Today we participated in a game called ultimate Frisbee. If you are not familiar with the game, it is similar to turbo touch. There are two teams you are not allowed to run with Frisbee so you have to try and pass the Frisbee to your team mates and have to try and catch the Frisbee in the end zone to score a point.
• What level of effort and engagement were you participating at during today’s physical activity? Why? (Grade yourself NA, A or M and refer to marking criteria) I thought today I would give myself an merit because I would always try and assist my teammates by passing it them all the time and setting them up for goals.

• What were three factors which influenced your participation? (Choose from the list below, and put a + or - beside the three factors to show whether it positively or negatively influenced your participation). +Previous experience, - Competition, - Environment, - skill Level
• Explain HOW these factors affected your participation (with specific examples) Previous experience affected my participation in a positive way because last year I would always play Frisbee with my friends so I knew how to play which made it easier for me. Environment affected my participation in a negative way because it was windy and when we passed the Frisbee it would sometimes fly somewhere else which made it annoying. Skill Level affected my participation in a positive way because I knew good techniques on how to pass the Frisbee, so I had the skills to pay the bills.
• How could you increase your (or your peers) participation in this activity in the future? I think I could improve my performance by helping my teammate more, like teaching them how to throw the Frisbee. I also think that I could improve my participation by catching the Frisbee better because sometimes I would drop it.
