At University Science High School (USHS), CLSU, each lesson in Physical Education and Health follows a structured yet engaging approach, ensuring students actively participate and achieve their learning goals.

 

The class begins with a warm greeting and a quick review of the previous lesson, helping students recall key concepts before diving into new material. In Physical Education, the session starts with a fun word-guessing game where students try to identify terms related to street dance, such as B-boying, Popping, and Freestyle. This activity not only energizes them but also introduces them to the lesson’s theme.

 

Next, the focus shifts to recreational sports and hip-hop dance. Instead of direct demonstrations, students watch carefully selected video presentations showcasing the four fundamental movements of B-boying—Toprock, Downrock, Power Moves, and Freezes. After analyzing the movements, students gradually practice on their own, expanding their dance vocabulary and freestyle creativity.

 

Meanwhile, in Health class, the lesson kicks off with an ice-breaking game ("Boom-Clap-Pen") followed by a motivational health video to spark curiosity. The main topic, "Most Common Communicable Diseases and Their Prevention," is introduced through a mix of videos, discussions, and interactive questioning. Instead of simply explaining concepts, students are encouraged to analyze and discuss how diseases spread—through direct contact, indirect contact, and airborne transmission.

 

Throughout both classes, students remain highly engaged, with over half of the class actively participating in discussions and activities. Whenever attention drifts, a well-placed question or challenge quickly brings them back on track. To reinforce learning, students collaborate on group projects. In PE, they choreograph and perform a short dance routine, emphasizing teamwork and expression. In Health, they work together to design an informative poster on a communicable disease, covering its causes, symptoms, and prevention.

 

Assessments go beyond traditional tests. In Health, students tackle real-life case studies, applying their knowledge to solve health-related problems. In PE, they demonstrate their creativity by recording personalized dance performances.

 

Each lesson is carefully structured within 60 minutes, blending lecture, discussion, multimedia, and hands-on activities. The use of games, videos, and interactive challenges keeps students engaged, ensuring they don’t just learn concepts but experience and apply them in meaningful ways.
