We've carefully curated 3 detailed lesson plans for AQA GCSE PE 9-1 specification. Even if you're not teaching this curriculum, we've chosen these topics because they're "quintessential PE lessons" that can be taught across many different courses.

✏️ Bones of the skeletal system

✏️ Structure of the joints

✏️ Antagonistic muscle pairs

Let’s challenge the idea that “theory learning” in any subject needs to be taught sitting in chairs, not moving.

Energise your theory lessons

Do you notice a shift in energy and engagement from students when teaching practical lessons outdoors or in the gym to a theory lesson in a traditional classroom set-up?

Incorporating movement into your PE theory lessons could help you find that perfect balance that students will enjoy.
