Let's review!

In this unit you explored what motivates you to be active and how to get past barriers, measured your heart rate, learned the four parts of fitness, and set and tracked a fitness goal. You became a safety checker and learned what to do about concussions and other injuries. Then you built your movement skills: balance science and transitions, travelling combinations, sending and receiving, and dribbling, and you learned the four kinds of games and tactics for each.

This review has questions from every lesson. Some are Do it and check moves. Try each one, then press Show answer.
