1.Body Awareness: Proprioception, which is how the body senses the
parts of itself.
2.Shape: how the body can form different shapes
3.Balance: balance in the body, how you body can balance on one foot
4.Quality: concept of speed, contrast, force and relaxation
5.Space: space with others
6.Exploring: concept of moving over, under, around and through and
leading with certain body parts.
7.Locomotor Skills: are basic movement skills that are performed in
different directions and at different speeds. Ex- walking running,
jumping, galloping and sliding.
8.Nonlocomotor Skills: passive movements performed while
standing still. Ex-stretching, twisting, pushing
9.Object Manipulation Skills: Complex motor patterns that are basic to

, special- ized sports and performed with an object. Ex- throwing,
catching, kicking, striking
10.Biomechanics: contributes to the explanation and prediction of the
mechanical characteristics of movement, exercise, play and sports.
11.Newton's first law: when an object is in motion, it will remain in
motion until there is an outside force that acts upon it.
12.Newtons second law: the relationship between an objects mass,
acceleration, and applied force.
13. Newtons third law: if one object excerpts a force on a second
object, the second object exerts an equal force on the first object but in
a different direction.
14.Gravity: the point at which the mass of the body is equally
distributed. During movement the body adjusts to maintain its
stability.
15.Friction: the resistance of motion of two moving objects. Ex-ball on
grass moves slower than ball on asphalt.
16.Muscular strength: amount of force exerted with muscles. Upper
grades will require strength for certain sports
