12th Grade Expedition 1 - Resilient CitiesGuiding Question How do you build resilient cities? NYC Fitnessgram pre-assessment To start the school year, all 12th graders will know and understand their fitness level by performing the NYC Fitnessgram. The NYC Fitnessgram is a fitness test that measures cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition.
Case Study 1: Ultimate Frisbee During this case study, students will learn the physics of flying a disc by using force and spin to provide lift. To do this, they will use the sport "Ultimate" as a way to practice these skills. Students will also enhance their stamina, agility, coordination, and motor skills.
Case Study 2: Hypertrophy
Hypertrophy is the increase in muscle fibers when stress is placed on the muscles when contracting and extending. Students will be able to explain what goes on inside the body that makes muscle size increase. They will also be able to identify the muscles of the body and understand how the muscles create force in order to contract and extend.
Throughout this case study, students will create personal fitness routine based on personal preference.
Expedition 2 - Emergence Guiding Questions 1. How do finite resources shape outcomes? 2. How do form and function change when parts are combined? 3. When should a form be reformed?
NYC Fitnessgram
This Fitnessgram assessment will be used to monitor the progression of fitness by comparing the results to September's Fitnessgram. These results are sent home in June to notify parent or guardian of child's current fitness level.

Cardiovascular Endurance - PACER test
Muscular Strength - Curlups and pushups
Muscular Endurance - Curlups and pushups
Flexibility - sit-and-reach and trunk lift
Body Composition - height and weight measured using Body Mass Index (BMI)
During this expedition we will answer the guiding question, "How stable is my ground?" To do this, we will study the foundation and stability of our body by studying how to increase the strength of our bones and muscles. Case Study 1
Michael Richter
Students will be participating in hockey activities.
Hockey passing, ball handling, and shooting skills
Hockey team attack strategies
Case Study 2
Progressive Overload
Muscular strength training in the weight room
Design fitness routine based on personal interest
Expedition 2:
Case Study 1 Neuroplasticity Students
will learn how the brain adapts to environmental situations by creating new
neural pathways. They will be
participating in badminton activities to experience brain plasticity. Learning how to serve, demonstrate various
badminton hits, and attack opponents are all new experiences that enhance
agility, hand-eye coordination, and motor skills. Case Study 2
Spikeball
