Peds_Motor2_Spatial

Front 1

guided-discovery activites (spatial)

Back 1

(mature/intermediate level)
children learn how to practice the skill, learn more about it, and use it in a variety of situations.

Front 2

Steps to follow when planning a stability skill theme

Back 2

-pre plan
-observe and assess
-plan and implement
-evaluate and revise

Front 3

exploratory activities (spatial)

Back 3

(initital or elementary stage)
-children develop their spatial abilities by learning how their bodies balance alone and in relation to other people and objects

Front 4

Stability

Back 4

the ability to sense a change in one's body parts that alter one's balance.
AND the ability to adjust rapidly and accurately after the change

Front 5

static balance

Back 5

a stationary posture, upright or inverted, in which the center of gravity remains stationary and the line of gravity falls within the base of support

Front 6

dynamic balance

Back 6

involves controlled movement while moving through space, so the center of gravity is constantly shifting

Front 7

upright supports

Back 7

(static or dynamic balance skills)
-maintaining one's equilibrium when the body is placed in unusual positions
Ex- bear dance

Front 8

springing movements

Back 8

involve forceful projection of the body into space in either an upright or an inverted position
Ex- straddle jump, handspring

Front 9

body rolling

Back 9

to move through space around its own axis while momentarily inverted

Front 10

4 components of stability

Back 10

-axial movements
-springing movements
-upright supports
-inverted supports

Front 11

axial movements

Back 11

non-locomotor stability movements in which the axis of the body revolves around a fixed point
Ex- bending, stretching, twisting

Front 12

dodging

Back 12

sliding accompanied by running and involves quick, deceptive changes in direction

Front 13

inverted supports

Back 13

supporting the body momentarily in an inverted position
Ex- headstand, handstand
