Athletics Drawing Sheet | Year 4 PE Resources | BookFlik
Boost your classroom activity with our premium PE athletics drawing sheet year 4 greater depth. Designed specifically for pupils who thrive on complex challenges, this resource moves beyond simple illustration, requiring children to apply their understanding of biomechanics and movement to visual art. By integrating physical education with observational sketching, students will analyse the mechanics of sprinting, jumping, and throwing.
This PE athletics drawing sheet year 4 greater depth aligns with the Australian Curriculum (ACARA), which expects Year 4 pupils to compare their performances with previous ones and demonstrate improvement. Instead of basic stick figures, learners are tasked with capturing the tension in muscles, the trajectory of a javelin, and the precise angles of a long jump take-off. It is an excellent tool for teachers seeking cross-curricular links between physical education and science, particularly the study of forces and motion.
How to use this resource:
Distribute the sheet to gifted and talented learners during your athletics unit. Encourage them to annotate their drawings with technical vocabulary, such as acceleration, velocity, and gravity. This PE athletics drawing sheet year 4 greater depth invites children to act as sports scientists, justifying their artistic choices by explaining the physics behind athletic success.
Greater Depth Challenge Questions:
1. Explain why a sprinter leans forward during the initial phase of a race.
2. Compare and contrast the body position of a shot-putter with that of a relay runner.
3. Justify your answer: Does the angle of release significantly change the distance a javelin travels?
4. What might happen if an athlete ignored the principles of balance during a long jump?
5. Analyse the role of friction between the track and the athlete’s trainers.
6. Create an original diagram illustrating the flight path of a discus and label the forces acting upon it.
