The Heart Foundation’s ready-made skipping program, Jump Rope for Heart helps primary school students move more and have fun, while they raise funds for heart research, patient support and programs that help save lives.
In this unit, students investigate heart health, nutrition and how to improve their skipping skills.
Finding Out
Students will need to obtain more information about the issues they are going to investigate. They can identify questions of interest and research these either in small groups or on their own. Once information is gathered, it can be shared using chosen communication methods e.g. short presentations. Students can continue finding out by completing a range of investigations, including gathering data. They use appropriate methods to present and communicate what they have found out.
