- Let's stretch our brains together!
- 00:12
- Ready
- 00:14
- Set
- 00:15
- Go!
- 00:16
- Have you ever thought about why we even have P.E. in school?
- 00:16
- Why?
- 00:18
- So our kids don't jump off the walls in our classroom?
- 00:19
- Maybe so the teachers have a break to make copies?
- 00:21
- Oh! I know! Maybe so kids learn to work together in the games they play!
- 00:31
- Not Quite!
- 00:33
- All great points....
- 00:36
- But movement in school is so much more important than that!
- 00:41
- 00:41
- It has to do with our brain!
- 00:42
- Have you heard of a Cerebellum before?
- 00:48
- This part of the brain processes movement AND learning!
- 00:52
- Seeing the connection now?
- 00:54
- Seeing the connection now?
- 00:57
- Let's take a dive
- 00:58
- into how we learn
- 00:60
- when actively
- 01:02
- using our body
- 01:09
- Cognative Evidence
- 01:12
- The inner ear and cerebellar (motor activity) regulate incoming sensory data. This helps balance, turning thoughts into actions, and corrdination
- 01:16
- This means it in important to stimulate these things!
- 01:23
- What is the best way to do that at school?!
- 01:25
- Physical Education
- 01:26
- and
- 01:27
- Playground play!
- 01:34
- We can stimulate the inner ear by......
- 01:36
- Swinging
- 01:37
- Tumbling
- 01:37
- Jumping

- Lyelle Palmer of Winona State University
- 01:44
- conducted a study that proved significant gains in
- 01:45
- attention and reading in students
- 01:46
- performing these tasks
- 01:55
- Functional Evidence
- 01:56
- Our brain needs oxygen!
- 01:60
- Well duh I am sure you already knew that...
- 02:05
- But did you know...
- 02:07
- That the more we huff and puff
- 02:08
- enhances our blood flow to our brains
- 02:11
- which equals better brain function!
- 02:17
- Cool Right?
- 02:22
- Voluntary exercise influences gene expression to improve learning and memory.
- 02:28
- If movement is so obviously important what is scaring us away from daily physical education?
- 02:33
- Many are concerned with time. Teachers don't get enough time as it is! How could we give up anymore?
- 02:38
- The other got 4X that at 375 min
- 02:38
- One class got 90 min of P.E. a week
- 02:38
- A study by Terrence Dwyer took two sets of students
- 02:44
- Who's test scores do you think were better?
