This is a great video for curious little minds and is presented well for a young audience. I think Grade 5 students would find the presentation style a little young. But because the concepts are well presented from simple to more complex concepts, younger children can easily benefit from the videos. We find The Magic School Bus videos and books a good companion to this video as The Magic School Bus videos are more engaging and the books cover the concepts in a lot more detail. However, this Rock 'n Learn video covers some concepts not covered by The Magic School Bus.

P.E. Games & Activities Kit for Grades 6-12: Over 250 Games to Put New Variety and Challenge into Your Physical Education Program
$29.95
After teaching Physical Education for grades 6-12 for years, it is nice to have some new games to introduce to the students. They get sick of the same games year after year and this book introduced some new favorites to my units! Great choice! I also purchased some other books similar to this where the lessons repeat in each book but there is enough variety to make it worth purchasing the others as well (Secondary Activities by Lumdsen, as well as the PE and Activity Series that is broken down by grades)!
