Topic 1 Human Body

OBJECTIVES
Learners should be able to:
. distinguish body parts that store and transport food, air and blood
. explain the process of storing and transporting food, air and blood
' design a project that shows the processes by which human body parts store and
transport food, air and blood.

Introduction
The human body consists of very important organs. Thus, it is essential to keep and maintain
these organs healthy. Both external and internal body parts have important roles to play in
our everyday lives. Different body parts combine to make up different body systems such as
respiratory digestive and circulatory system. Knowledge and understanding of the structure
and functions of the body parts is essential when learning about the human body.

The human body


There are several body systems and they complement each other in the way they operate. The
functions of such systems are explained below.

1. Respiratory System for air transport


The process of respiration starts in the nose when air is inhaled. The air flows through the
pharynx and larynx which is in the throat though the trachea. From the trachea, air enters two
tubes known as the bronchi which sr-rpply lungs r,vith oxygen. At the end of the bronchi are
tiny air sacs (alveoli) which are responsible for gaseous exchange in the lungs.
Oxygen enters the blood streatn through the alveoli and carbon dioxide also exits the blood
through these alveoli. The lungs are responsible for getting rid of carbon dioxide which is a
waste product.

The diagram above shou's the organs of the respiratory system. These work together in
ensurin,q that gaseous exchange occllrs srnoothll,'. fhe functions of these organs are explained
belor,r,;

idose
The nose is t'esponsible for provicling a Dassase of eir into ancl out of the body. The rnouth
can also serve this titnction at times. Hor.l'ever. breatiln-q lr1 through the nose is best. This is
because the nose contains hairs that filter dust particles.

Pharynx
It is a tubular intemal organ found behind the nasal cavity. This tube allou,s the passage of
air frorn the nasal cavitv iuto the trachea.
Larynx
it is connccted to the trachea. lts fr:nction is io control the Ilou, of air during breathing. The
plrarynr allolvs the passage of inhaiecl air ii'om the nose into thc Iarynx, the windpipe and
thcn the ir-rngs.

Trachea

Bronchi
Thesc are tlibes that crtenci il'orn ihc trachca tr; ihu llrnss. Thev allorv the air to flow into tlic'
i irn gs.
Lungs
It is a pair of spongy-like air-fllled internal organs located on either side of the chest.The left
and right lungs are connected to the bronchi. Their plrlpose is to supply oxygen into the body
and remove carbon dioxide. The lungs contract and expand rvhen breathing in and out.

Alveoli (air sacs)


The alveoli are tiny air sacs that are found at the end of the bronchus in the lungs. They help
in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between lungs and the blood stream. These air
sacs are suitable for gaseous exchange because they have thin walls and are inflatable.

2. Digestive System for transport and food storage


The digestion process starts in the mouth. When food is taken in through the mouth, it is tom
and chewed by the teeth in order to break it down into small pieces for easy swallowing.
Digestion is the process whereby food is broken down from large particles into small parlicles.
In the mouth, the tongue helps by pushing and rolling the chewed food as the saliva makes it
slippery.
From the mouth it moves into the stomach through the oesophagus. In the stomach the food
is stored for some time. Further digestion then takes place in the stomach with the help of
digestive juices which break down the food again. From the stomach the food moves into the
small intestines where the food is absorbed into the blood stream. The blood then delivers the
absorbed food to the rest of the body.
The diagram below illustrates the organs that make up the digestive system. These orqans
r.vork together in the digestion process.

Fig 1.2 Digestive Systent
Digestive system organs and functions
Mouth
This is an opening that allows the food into the body. It is found below the nasal cavity.
Salivary -glands are found in the mouth and they' moisten the food. Inside the mouth, there
is a tongue and teetir which are part of the digestive process. The teeth assist in tearing and
grinding of the food in the mouth.
Tlre tongue then mixes the food using saliva glands to fonn a food paste called bolus.
0esophagus
It is a long tube which allows food to enter tiom the pharynx to the stomach. The lower valves
control the movement of food into the stomach. These valves also prevent the stomach acids
and fbod from going back to the oesophagus.
Stomach
It is a muscular organ which receives food. it is lotrnd in the middle of the abdominal cavity.
It is in the stomach where acids and enzyines are released to digest the food.
Small intestine
it is a coiled narrow tube. it is responsible lor absorbing nutrients and water into the blood
system. The food in the small intestines is further broken down using bile and other digestive
juices tiom the pancreas and liver.
Large intestine
It is larger than the small intestine in diameter. It receives digested food which was not
absorbed in the small intestine. It is responsible lor passing the digested by-products for
excretion. it is used as a temporary storage of f-aeces. The mucus in the large intestine is used
as a lubricant during the release of faeces.

Liver
The organ is reddish-brown in colour and larse Tt is located at the right side of the belly.
The liver produces bile which helps to digest ttrts. lt is also responsible for filtering blood
corning frorn the digestive tract.
Pancreas
This is a long flattened gland in the body. It produces digestive juices to the small intestines"
It also produces alkaline fluids to protect the digestive tract. It also releases enzymes to digests
fats, proteins and carbohydrates.
Rectum
It is a muscular tube in the large intestines. lt connects the colon to the anus. Faeces collect in
the rectum before they are excreted through the anus.
Anus
It is the last part of the digestive system. Its purpose is to hold the stool from coming
out.
The sphincler muscles on the anus are responsible lor controlling the movement of stool out
of the body during excretion.
3. Circulatory system for blood transport
The circulatory process is powered by the heart. The circulatory system is made up of blood
vessels called arteries, veins and capillaries. The heart has valves which prevents back flow
of blood.
During blood circulation, the heart pumps the blood which has nutrients throughout the body.
Arteries carry blood which is rich in oxygen and nutrients from the heart to various body
tissues.

In contrast, veins carry blood to the heart which is rich in carbon dioxide and waste from body
tissues. The capillaries connect the arteries and veins. Exchange of food, waste and gases
happens in the capillaries.

Fig 1.3 Circulatory System

The circulatory system organs and functions


Heart
This is the organ which pumps blood throughout the body. The heart has muscles which
contract and relax as the heart beats.It also has valves that control blood flow in one direction
and prevents the back flow of blood.

Arteries
These are thick-walled blood vessels. They are wide in diameter. Their function is to carry
oxygen from the heart to the body. They are muscular and elastic to withstand the high pressure
of blood from the heart.
Veins
They have thinner walis than arteries and are also wide. They bring blood back to the heart
frorn the body. These vessels carry de-oxygenated blood.
Capillaries
These are tiny blood vessels. Their rvalls are one cell thick. The cappillary walls allow water
and other dissolved substances to pass thror-rgh during absorption.

Activities

L Make use of available materials to make a model of the human lungs and
demonstrate the breathing process.

Topic 2 Safety and Health

OBJECTIVES
Learners should be able to:
. identify healthy living lifestyles
. engage in healthy living projects
. state injuries caused by lack of physical f,tness
. describe ways of preventing injuries
. demonstrate flrst aid procedures in managing injuries
. apply knowledge of safety ruies and precautions for various activities in
different environments
. demonstrate proper care and storage of apparatus.

Introduction
The main goal of safety and health is to promote healthy living style and reduce injuries,
illness and death at school as well as at home. Therefore it is vital to practice healthy living
habits and foliow safety rules every day. Knowledge of ways of injury prevention and
management are very helpful. The issue of nutrition is also of paramount importance as it
promotes good healthy living styles. Injuries cannot be stopped from taking place completely
hence knowledge of first aid procedures in managing injuries is necessary.

Healthy living habits


Healthy living habits are healthy behaviours that include maintaining physical fitness,
good habits and taking care of mental and emotional wellbeing. These behaviours comprise
of various lifestyles.

Healthy living styles


Healthy living styles includes eating a balanced meal, getting regular rest and quality
sleep. Doing daily exercises to maintain physical fitness, having a sound mind and a stable
emotional states are also ways of living healthy.
Good nutrition
This involves eating the right foods in their correct quantities, that is a balanced diet.
Indigenous foods and fruits should be included in our diets. ,A, balanced diet provides nutrition
for internal organs to function effectively. Water intake is necessary and a average of 8 glasses
of water should be taken daily. Other fluids like milk anrJ sugar-free drinks should also be
taken in. Food eaten shouid inciude carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, fat. fibre and
rnineral
salts' Taking plenty of fmits and vegetables is also encouraged as they provide vitamins.
It
is encouraged to eat regularly but controlling the portion sizes of the food being consumed.
Maintaining a healthy body weight is also encouraged through practices like exlrcising,
not
skipping breakfast and being mindful of tbod portions that are eaten.
A good diet prevents conditions like; high blood pressure, cholesterol levels, diabetes and
other illnesses. Comect eating habits also improl'e gut health, for example, taking food
high
in fibre content helps to prevent constipation. Mineral elements strengthen bones a,d teeih,
fbr example, the intake of calcium.
Some indigenous foods and fruits which mav be included in our diet

Exercising helps in maintaining a good and healthy body weight which reduces the chance
chances of obesity. Regular exercising increases blood flow which transports nutrients and
oxygen to the body. Physical activities also minimises the chances of diseases. Unnecessary
body fats are also burnt during exercises. Muscles, bones and internal organs are strengthened
during exercises. In addition, exercises also help to relax the body.
Mental and emotional wellbeing
A stable and sound mind helps to prevent emotional stress. Mental health is important because
it determines how we think and act in different situations. Behaviour patterns and moods are
also part of the mental state therefore they should be well maintained. A good mental state
helps one to relate well with others. The ability to control feelings, thoughts and emotions
is crucial in maintaining a healthy mental state. Criticism should be handled positively and
positive talk should be encouraged all the time.

It is everyoneb due to take good care of the body through exercise, good eating habits
as well as quality rest and sleep. A sound mind and a stable emotional state are vital for
a healthy life.

Healthy living projects


Healthy living projects are schemes or plans that are aimed at promoting healthy eating and
exercising so as to develop good healthy habits. In such projects learners take part in the
organisation of the events at school and they also participate in the events as well. The
following projects help in providing healthy foods and maintaining physically fit bodies.
. Growing vegetables and herbs in the class garden.
. Regular exercise through Yoga classes.
. Creating Health and Awareness Clubs at school.
. Healthy local fruits programmes in which learners collect local fruits , bring them and
share them among themselves.
. Active living projects whereby learners are encouraged to participate in any physical
activity daily.
. Healthy eating and healthy snacks projects . Aproject which teaches learrers to prepare
healthy snacks to bring to school.
Injuries caused by lack of exercise
Many injuries are caused by lack of exercise and physical fltness. It is important to take
note of these injuries in order to prevent them. The following injuries mostly take place due
to lack of exercise:
. Strained muscles . Torn cartilages
. Muscle cramps . Broken bones
. Knee pain . Blisters
. Ankle or arrn dislocations
Injury prevention and management

adhere to safety rules and precautions.

Safety rules and precautions


Proper warrn up procedures should be followed during physical activities. Atirletes should
also wear appropriate sportswear for speciflc disciplines. Equipment should be used f,or its
intended purposes, for example, goal posts and nets for soccer should not be usecl fbr other
sporting activities. Avoid over training as well as rushing physical activities as it can strain
lnuscles.
Intensity of activities should be increased gradually and not rapidly. Every activity should
be finished with a cool down exercise.

Storage of apparatus
It is important to keep an inventory of all the equiprnent and taking note of its state or
condition. Make sure that all tools and equipment are well organised, well maintained and in
good working condition. All the equipment should be accounted for and stored properly, from
large pieces of equipment to the smallest such as a pump needle.
Storage space must be created for easy identiflcation of tools and equipment. It is helpful to
design a simple labelling system in the storeroom for easy access of equipment. Large canvas
or synthetic bags can be used to store uniforms. Heavy duty mesh ball bag or drawstring
eclr-ripment storage bag can be used to store all balls.

The help position

1t

Fig 3.1 Help positiott

The heat escape lessening position (HELP) - is a humair position to reduce heat loss
while immersed in cold water. HELP positioning involves wrapping one's knees together
and folding arrns around one's chest. This position also minimises water flow across the body.

Treading water
Treading water is a vital skill in water safety. It is to turn into an upright position in the
water and making in-and-out sweeping motions with arms to stabilise the upper body. Bicycle-
like kicking motions can be made to help keep the bod1.afloat. The benefits of treading
water include: covering short distances in the water, recovering breath after swallowing water
and increase in confldence while swimming.
Swimming
Swimming is the movement of the body through water using arms and legs. Tlie best
water suruival technique is learning to swim sr-rrvival swirnuring strokes include backstroke
and continuos water treading. Basic swimming skills prevent people from drowning and
enable them to move away from dangerous situations in water.
Use of devices
The use of flotation or swimming devices helps to survive in water. Life jackets, ann
floaters, floatation suits and other flotation devices can keep a person afloat in the water
even if they are unconscious or unable to swim. It is important to make use of any valuable
aid in and around the water in emergency sifuations.

Resuscitation techniques
After rescuing a drowning victim it is advised to give first aid. An example of a first aid
procedure is feeling the pulse on the neck side or wrist and checking if one is still breathing.
If the person is not breathing, cardio-pttlnlonarv resuscitation (CPR) should be performed.
CPR is a combination of chest compressions and mouth to mouth resuscitations to deliver
oxygen and induced blood circulation to the victim. Airw,a), Breatltilg Circttlation (ABC)
resuscitation can also be performed to an unconscious person.

Fig 3.2 Compression resuscitation in CPR

The ABC resuscitation


r { stands for air-way. Lifting the casualty's chin and tilting the head back will open the
airway passage. This position lifts the casualty's tongue away lrom the bacl,< of throat so
that it does not block the air passage.
r $, stands for breathing. If the casualtv is not breathing, blow your own exhaled air into
the casualty's lung thus oxygenating the biood by giving "artificial ventilation."
r ( stands fbr circuiation. If tl're heart stops, one can apply "Chest Compressions" to force
the blood through the heart and around the body.
. ABC resuscitation should be combined with artificial ventilation so that the blood is
oxygenated.

Rescuing a drowning causality


Drowning can take place any water bod1,. even in shallow water. Rescuing a drowning person
can be done through reochirtg. ihroiring, rowing as well as getting into the water. However.
the first thing to do when solneone is drownutg is to cali for help.
Reach
This is risky and a lot of care should be taken. One should ensure that he or she is in a safe
and stable position to avoid being pulled into the water by the victim. This can be achieved
by laying flat on the floor and stretching hands towards the victim. If one is not able to reach,
the use of a tree branch or a towel is encouraged so as to reach the victim. Encouraging the
victim to be calm can also aid in the rescuing process. Another way is to hold the edge of the
pool with one hand and stretching the other hand towards the victim. After grasping, slowly
pull the victim towards saf-ety.
Thron'
Most swimming areas have sat-ety rings attached to long ropes. They usually float and can be
used to save a drowning victim. T'hrow the ring towards the victim and ask him/her to grab
it then pull towards the shore.
Row
When the victirn is too far and cannot be reached using either the reach or throw rnethod
one has to take a boat (if available) and row close to the victim to rescue him or her. Ask the
victim to hold on to the boat and apply the reach rnethod to help the victim to safety.

2A
Go
Swimming to rescue someone drowning should be the last option. It requires a lot of
swimming skills and training before doing it. A drowning person is violent and not calm as
he or she struggles for breath. Therefore, this may pose danger to the rescuer resulting in both
the victim and the rescurer drowning. When swimming to rescue someone, carry a towel or
any object that the vicfim can hold on to.

Fig 3.j Swimming strokes/styles

The common swimming strokes or styles are freestyle stroke, backstroke and butterfly stroke.
They are well known because they are used in swimming competitions. Besides these common
strokes, there are some other styles like the sidestroke and breaststroke which can also be
performed when swirnming.
Front crawl
The front crawl is often the preferred stroke by seasoned su,immers. It uses alternating arm
movements with an above water recovery. The legs execute afiutter kick which makes the
swimmer more faster. The front crawl generates more speed because of thefitttter kickand is
mostly used in freestyle swimming races.
Back crawl
As its name suggests, backstroke is swum whilst one is on the back facing upwards. It uses
alternating circular arn movements and an above water recovery. The legs execute a
flutter
kick similar to the one used in freestyle. It is faster than breaststroke but slower than butterfly.
The backstroke is also useful in working out the back for people with back problems. The
Zimbabwean swimmer Kirsty Coventry holds an Olympic gold medal for this backstroke
crawl.
Butterfly
This stroke stands out among competitive strokes because of its unique and spectacular
technique. It uses a symmetrical ann stroke with an above water recovery. It also uses
a wave-
like body undulation and a dolphin kick. It is the second fastest swim stroke after the front
crawl. Butterfly stroke can be quickly exhausting, but once you mastered it, it can be fun.

#
Breast stroke
Bleast stroke is a swinning style in .*'hich rhe sr,r.irrmer uses the chest tbr movement.
The head of the swimmer is out of the warer rnost of the time. This style is also known as frog
stroke because the movetnents are like that of a fi'og swirnming. However, it is the slowest of
all the strokes even if it is easv to leam.

Advantages of iearning diflerent swim strokes


Practising difi-erent switn strokes give a better workout as more muscles are used. Swimming
inj Lrries iike rnr"rscle strains are reduce d as the body is not stressed rvith the same movements.
There is mttch more fun and excitement in doing rrany strokes. Learning different slvirnrning
strokes hclps ir-r irnproving perfbrmance.
Ditl-erent strokes tend to t-ocr-rs on dill-ererlt aspects of the body. For example. free stvle gives
lltore speed to complete a lap ll'hereas backstxrkc helps one to relax and gain back energ)/.

Diving is jumping or plunging into water from a platform or springboard. A correct dive
means proper entry into the water. Swimmers are encouraged to learn proper and correct
diving techniques to prevent injuries.
Correct body positioning during a dive is the first skill that should be mastered. A diver
should learn the proper diving posture before going near the water. A proper dive starts and
placing one hand over the other with palms facing downwards. Raise arms straight above the
head and bend forward to get the head as close to the water as possible. Crouching helps in
performing a smaller dive. It is encouraged to start with diving head first.

1. ln pairs, practice the skill of breathing in water. Fill buckets with water. Put faces in
buckets whilst blowing bubbles through the mouth.
2. Demonstrate different ways of checking water depth before diving such as using
long sticks or using feet first.
3. Practice backstroke next to a lane rope in order to swim straight.

Fig 4.1 Take offposition in athletics

Participation in long distance runs or races is beneflcial to athletes as it improves their


endurance. Sprint races require special athletic techniques such as baton exchange in relay
races. Such baton exchange techniques develop handling, passing and techniques.

Running with obstacles

Fig 4-2 An athlete running and jumping over hurdles oncl (rigltt) running behveen slalont pole.s

Obstacle running is another kids athletics activities which is meant to improve flexibility,
strength, judgment and balance in athletes. Hurdle racing is an example of an obstacle
race.
Another obstacle race involves running befween arranged objects such as slalom poles.
Obstacle races are done whilst the athletes are running therefore they should be able to
control
their speed when they face obstacles.

Jumping
Jumping is pushing or leaping off the ground into the air by using muscles in the leg and
foot. Jumps can be done using an aid such as a pole. There are two main classes ofjumps
and
these are jumping for distance (horizontal jumps) and jumping for height (vertical jumps).
The goai in jumping events is to maximise either the measured distance or height of-the
athlete's ju-p. The movernents of the jumping events can be broken down into four
main
phases which are:
. Approach
. Take off
. Flight
. Landing

_ 'r1
'k#
Horizontal and vertical jumping techniques
Horizontal Jumps
Horizontal jurnps inclLrde long jLrmp ar-rd triple jLunp.
Long jump
The rnain concept in long ju*p is for the athlete to cover the greatest distance from the point
of take off to the landing point in one junrp.

Fig 4.3 Long.jump

Triple Jump
Tripie jump is also called hop, step and jump. tt is an event in which an athlete makes a
horizontaljump for distance in three distinct ar"rd continous movements. in the 'hop' phase,
the athlete takes off and lands on the same foot. This is followed by the 'step'phase in which
the athlete leaps and lands on the other fcrot. The final phase is the 'jump'in which the athlete
lands in any manner desired.

Jumping for height

High jump
This is jumping over a bar that is continuouslv raised in height until one athlete remains.
It involves the athlete rnaking a short run before taking off on one foot or both. Special
lumping techniques enable athletes to ciear greater heights. Such techniques involve the
scissors technique. The scissor technique inr,'olves the athlete jumping over the bar upright
wirile lifting both legs Lrp over the bar in order to ciear higher heights.

28
Fig 4.5 Scrs,sors technique

Pole vault
This is a vertical jump competition in which athletes attempt to jump over a bar with the aid
of stick. In this event, athletes attempt to vault over a high bar with the aid of an ex.tremely
long and flexible pole.

Fig 4.6 Pole vault

Throwing
Throwing activities in athletics involve the throwing of implements of varying weight and
shape as far as possible from the thrower. Such activities include shot put, discus and javelin.
Throwing techniques
There are basic skills and techniques that performers need to master so as to achieve the best
throw in throwing activities. The basic throwing skills are holding or gripping, the stance,
movement and releasing.
Holding or gripping
There are 3 main types of gripping in javelin and are illustrated below.

,
t
t

Fig 4.7 Javelin grip

29
In discus. the discus should be heid flat against ihe palm rvith its edge sitting on the pads of
the fingers. The thumb then rests on the back of the discus as shown below.

Fig 1.8 Disuts grip

In shot put, the shot is held at the base of the fingers, not the palm. The flngers should be
slightly spread apart with the thumb for supporl. In addition, the hand will be bent back in a
cocked position when holding the shot.

Fig 4.9 Shot put grip

The stance
The stance refers to the standing position during throwing events. There are different stance
positions that most throwers use when perfbrming a throw. A stance depends on the movement
rnethod used by the thrower. ln addition. every throwing activity involves a marked space in
r.vhich the throw must be perlonlecl in Therr-t-ore. every stance should be executecl ,uvithout
passing the marked space.
The glide or movement
Movement involves any body movement done before a throw to generate momentum so as to
execute a better throw. In javelin, shot ptit or discus, movement follows the following steps;
prepat'ation, momentunt bui lding, delivet't: and t"ecovet)'.
The release
This is the process of letting the implement to be thrown go. Proper release is important in all
throwing activities so that the implernent can go the furthest distance possible. The distance
that any thrown object travels is determined by the following:
. height of release
. speed of release
. angle of release
The above techniques can be affected by'the shape or make of the object to be thrown as well
as environmental factors such as air resistance and density.

positions for players with specific roles which should be follorved during such games.
Space awareness in invasion games
Invasion games involve the aspect of space awareness. This entails the space occupied
by the
body as well as the relationship between the body and the environmeni. tn invasion games,
space awareness is displayed in defending and attacking techniques.

Defending tactics
These are skills and techniques that involve protecting the team's territory
from the opposing
team(s). Such tactics are put in piace so as to prevent the opposing team fro- ,"orirg
oi
attaining a point. Defensive techniques that make use of space awareness include
the following.

' Skillfully nrarginalising and erclnding sliillflil opponents from the play of the games.
This can be Cone b,v guarding such players rvith the best def-enciers or two def'enders.
' Making use of teal-t-t fbrmations that include more defenders than attackers
Attacking tactics
These are tactics that are useci b1, athletes or teatxs to attain a score or point against the
opposin-q team. Various technique.s can Lre employed when attacking the other team such as
the ones iisted beior':
' Maintaining ball or objects possession tactful passing until a goal is reached to

Positioning
This is placement of players in relation to the environment or marked space where the
sporting games are performed. It can also be in relation to other team mates and also in
relation to opponents. Position compliments formations and is also a tactful technique that
can be used u,hen attacking in invasion games. The ways of positioning can be done in
relation to the following;
. Marked boundaries
This is following the marked lines that demarcate sections of the field of play. It determines
if the implement or players are in or out of bound. In addition, there are different penalties or
scoring points in relation to the sections of the marked areas.
. Teammates
This mostly make use of team formations. They include the relationship of teammates to
each other which are strategic and beneficial to the team in both attacking and defending.

Reaction
In invasion games, it is necessary to ensure that the opponents do not have possession of the
ball or implement. This is called dislodging an opponent . It also implies that the opponents
fail to obtain ball or implement possession or an upper hand irr the game. This can be achieved
in many ways which are both defensive and offensive as follows;
' Change of speed (acceleration and deceleration) in dribbling, passing or bouncing enables
the opponent to be dislodged.
' Change in direction is a tactic of escaping an opponent. The direction can be moving
forward, backward, sideways or diagonally and can be aided by changes in speed.
' Feigning movement or disguise movement which involves moving in the wrong
direction outwits the opponent. Feigning movement is the capacity to pretend to make
one movement unpredictably.
' Guarding is also used in dislodging the opponent. Guarcling is the act of placing the
body in the path of an offensive opponent.

POINT TO NOTE:
space awareness can be used for both attacking and also defending.

Topic 6 Target and Combat
Games

OBJECTIVES
Learners should be able to:
. aim at stationary targets within a 50m distance
. aim at fast mobile targets within a distance of 50m
. adjust body positions by twisting, tuming, squatting ancljumping
' make fast movements and release energy towards certain directions.

Introduction
Target games are activities in which players send an object toward atargetwhile avoiding any
obstacles. The targets can be at a fixed or stationary position but can also be in movement.
Combat games are those that involve direct contact with the opponent(s). Combat games
make use of body aspect to defeat the opponent.

Aiming and targeting


Targeting and aiming focuses on how to to hit something stationary or moving from a
distance. In target games, different objects are used to aim at stationary or moving targets.
Example of targeting games include: darts, carpet bowls, ring games, target shooting games
and archery games. In target games, athletes develop accuracy and judgment skills when they
send objects towards targets at different distances and also through various obstacles.
This can be achieved;
. through a series of targets.
. by knocking down a variety of targets.
. by aiming attarget surroundedby different.
. by throwing rings at a stationary object.
. by shooting at stationary or moving targets.
Aiming at stationary targets
Aiming at stationary targets helps players to aim and accurately send objects towards targets
which are distances away. Stationary targets are objects that are fixed at one position. A line
where objects would be thrown from is drawn so as to show the marked area in which the
throw is to be performed. No one is allowed to throw after the line or step on it.
When targeting, players can throw or roll the object to the target. Objects thrown by athletes

39
can be of vary in tenns of shape, size and i,,,rigl-rt depending on the type of target garne.
Examples of games that have stationarv tar-qets are darts, bowling, archery and golf.

Aiming at mobile targets


Iv4obile targets are moving objects ihat are iiirned from a fixed position. The mobile targets
can be at different distances tiom the thrower, moving at different speeds and moving in
different directions. When aiming at rnobile targets throwers should not go beyond the
titrowitrg lirie. For one to hit a inobiic targct tlic lollow,ing are irnportant:
. Correct tirning and accuracy when airning.
. Proper angle of release.
. Good speed of release.
. Adequate force should be applied.
. Paying attention to the speed of the mobile object.

Combat games
A combat game is a competitive contact sporl where athletes flght against each other. It can
be a one on one fight or it can involves nrore fighters. The fighters can be armed or unarmed
as they attempt to subdue each other. In combar games. rules should always be followed so as
to avoid extreme injuries or e\/en death. Movenrent in combat ganles depends on speed of the
opponent. Combat games require proper n'ei-sl'lt distribution for balance. The wider the base
of supporl, the ntore stable the athlete becomes. It is important to balance the body on both
feet so as to elin:rinate fatigue and impror,e accllracy. Some eramples of cornbat games are
boring. wrestlins. karate,ludo. kick borrns anci kung Fr_r.

#
Stance in combat games
Stance is the change in body positions particularly the legs. This is done when attacking,
defending, advancing or retreating. For a successful stance in combat games the player should:
. Stand properly by spreading feet wider.
. Be in line with the opponent.
. Maintain a stability angle of stance.
. Weight distribution to the feet to have a strong footing.
. Be balanced in stance.
Energy conversions and release
In combat games there is transference of energy from the foot bearing the body weight to
the other which is not so as to achieve a better strike or m()mentum.. That same energy is
transferred from the legs to the hands performing the action. The correct base of supporl
for balance leads to proper transfer of weight from one body part to another as one executes
different skills. This weight transference also aids to energy conversions as they boost the
impact of the skill being performed.
Adjusting body positions
Adjustment of body position depends on how an athlete responds to an opponent and stiil
be able to maintain balance. If the base of support is too naffow there will be limitations in
adjusting the body position. The wider and more solid the base of support is, the more stable
and balanced one will be. Base of support is crucial to stay stable and perform combat skills
well. A comfortable base of support also enables quick foot movement and adjustment of the
body. Such reactions and body movement positions can be achieved by twisting, turning,
squatting and jumping.

Karate stances

Stances are important in karate as they represent the foundation or roots of good technique.
Incredible power is generated by adjusting body positions to maintain proper stances. Good
stances provide balance and power which is necessary in blocking and performing attacks.

" strike the ball or object to a target not rnore than 10m ar.vay from the starling point
. strike the ball over a batrier not more than 2m high.

Introduction
The net games are performed by striking objects towards a court or target area whilst the
opponent defends or strikes back. A stroke is created during the process of striking objects and
it can be done by a body part or an object. Dr,rring net game perfonnances, different strokes
are perlormed in relation to height, spin and distance.

Table 7.1 Strokes

Strokes for height


Strokes for height are performed so as to clear the net when striking a ball or object in net
games. One of the best ways to achieve depth of placement is to aim ground strokes high
over the net. These strokes should be done accurately so as to avoid.the ball or object from
failing into the net. Good players use topspin to achieve high net clearance and keep their shot
out of the opponent's hittin g zofie. A higher ball is also used to neutralise opponent's natural
aggression.

Spin distance
Ball spinning is an important technique that is related to ball control in net games. A correct
ball spin increases a shot's margin for error and affect the bounce of the ball. However, greater
amounts of spin have the most effects on ball flight and bounce. Therefore, ball spin makes
the ball travel faster and thus making the opponent(s) rulnerable in trying to retum it. Ball
spin is mainly used in tennis and volleyball. Types of ball spins include topspin, side-spin and
backspin.

Power in relation to time


Power is a change in energy with respect to time. To improve power, one must also increase
the strength applied when hitting the ball. In net games power applied to the ball or object
changes the direction and distance covered by the ball or object. To generate power athletes
at times jump whilst hitting the object. Power can also be generated with great momentum.
Power gives many advantages in sports such as the ones listed below.
' Power is crucial for success in sports such as volley ball and tennis.
' Power gives athletes the ability to run faster and jump higher during performances.
' During net games the maximum force an athlete applies in preforming strokes,
improves the speed at which the objects and balls travels.

Topic I Striking Games

OBJECTIVES
Learners should be able to:
. explain the difference between applying and receiving fbrce
. time the execution of forehand or backward strokes
' illustrate how the angle at a time of contact with the object affects direction
. demonstrate spin and rebound principles.

Introduction
Striking games involve an interchange in by applying force to sporting equipment such as
bats when attacking and receiving by force when defending. These games tend to develop
major skills such as movement (locomotor), non-moving and manipulative skills. Locomotor
skills enable players to execute forehand and backward strokes. Striking games are also an
excellent way to teaching fundamental skills such as: catching, throwing, running and striking.
Baseball, cricket, softball, kickball and rounders games are examples of striking games. Such
games make use of the grip, stance, foot works and other locomotor movements in their
performances. Striking games are seen to make use of two major techniques which are the
grip and the strike.

Grip
A grip is a way of holding equipment in sport that is used for hitting or striking. Various
gripping methods are used in striking games and each methorj is beneficial in its own way.
Types of grips that are used in striking games.
. cricket-VandOgrip
' baseball - Door knocking knuckles aligned, Ax grip, and the wrapped grip.
. softball - Door knockingknuckles aligned grip
Grip in cricket
In cricket the term grip is used to describe how a a batsman holds the bat with hands.

49
Fig 8.1 l'grip irt cricket (left) ond the O grip itr buseball (right)

Stance
The stance is the postlrre in which a batting player does so as to have the ball bowled to them.
An ideal stance is one in which the entire weight of the batter is distributed evenly on two
legs. In some cases batspersons develop foot. knees and back injuries because of a bad stance.
Proper stance is important when playing striking galnes because it increases the attack angle.
This in turn irnplies that stliking the ball or object '',vill not be strenuous. When batting, the feet
should be apar1. neither too far nor too close.

Fig 8.2 Stance in cricket (left) and baseball (right)

Footwork
Footrvork ret-ers to the movement of tire lront and back foot of the bat person. It results in
the action of transfeming the body rveight in preparation of facing and striking the ball. This
techniqr-re is vital as the batter faces a deliver,v from the opposing bowler or thrower. Applying
the conect footu,ork together u,ith irnproved positioning, the batter can significantly decrease
the load placed on different parts of the body at risky angles. Below are examples of correct
starlces in striking galnes.

50
Fig 8.j Footwork in preparation for striking a ball in softbatl (left) and uicket (right)

Applying and receiving force


In striking games, there is force applied when striking the ball and the ball also has its own
force from the thrower. A force is a pushing or pulling action that can make things move,
change direction, or change shape. Striking a ball involves a pushing force which is r"rsually
applied in the opposite direction from where the ball is corning from. The batter decides on
how much force to put to an incoming ball when it is thrown depending on how further the
batter wants the ball to reach. Force applied by the batter is regulated by a combination of
good grip, stance and correct footwork.

Topic 9 Adventure Games

OBJECTIVES
Learners should be able to:
. perform mountain climbing and water based activities
. locate points through map reading
. set up camp sites.

Introduction
Adventure games are games that mostly make use of nature and the environment. Such games
develop many skills in athletes such as problem solving and critical thinking. Examples of
adventure games include orienteering, mountain climbing and water based activities. In
addition, these adventure games such as camping and orienteering also develop exploring
skills.

Camping

Fig 9.1 Camping tents

Camping is an adventure game in which participants select, prepare and occupy a temporary
place of stay outdoors. In camping, the place of stay can be in tents or caravans. Camping
equipment such as camping beds, sleeping bags, pocket knife, water containers, flrst aid kit,
maps, weather-suitable clothing and chairs are essential in these camping expeditions. During
camping, cooking and other activities are carried outdoors. Camping is a great way of having
fun and has benefits such as good exposure to fresh air and is a way of boosting vitamin D
since most activities are performed outdoors. Some of the activjties performed during camping
are nature walks, storytelling, tug of war and horse riding.

55
Setting up camp
The following steps are taken when setting Ltp calnp;
a. Finding the perfect site which is preferably flat land with good water drainage.
b. Keeping trash at a distance but water sources close.
c. Maximizing the useftilness of the tent with proper placement.
d. Keeping an organrzed and clean kitchen area.
e. Building a proper campfire

Orienteering
Orienteering is a sport that cornbines runnrn-q. nrap reading and direction finding. The basic
idea in orienteering is to proceed frorl start to finish by visiting several control points with
the help of interpreting maps and cori-rpasses. L)rienteers choose the best possible route by
iooking at the features in the ten'ain. J-he r,vinner of the game is the person r,vho completes
the course in the t-astest tirne. Orienteering is a low'-cost sporl suitable for both genders and
a1l ages. I on-rpetitors ta]<e part indr.,'idrlirllv nr rrl ppil-s or grouns in competitive orienteering.

I:ig 9.2 Orienteering

Benefits of Orienteering
It can be perforrned as a sporl or a recreational activity to keep active and healthy.
Orienteering teaches self-reliance because it is done individually. It sharpens decision
making skills. It lielps to think and act under pressure.

Water-based activities
These are activities that are done on or in water bodies. These include examples that are listed
below:

. Canoeing
Canoeing is a racing sporl that invoives paddling of a canoe and it is usually performed in the
river and lakes. The activity of canoeins is good for strengthening the heart and has impact
on mental health.

56
Fig 9.3 Canoeing

. Surflng

Fig 9.4 Surfing

Surfing is a water sport which is performed on larger water bodies. Surfing involves riding of
breaking lvaves towards the shore of oceans and seas using of a surfboard. The surfer rides
facing of a moving wave, which usually carries the surfer towards the shore. Surfers'skills are
tested by their ability to control their board in difficult conditions such as riding challenging
waves and executing strong turns and cutbacks (turning board back to the breaking wave).
Surfing provides physical work-out and develops good body balance.
. Whitewater rafting

Fig 9.5 lYhitewater rafting

57
Whitewater rafting is a recreational outcioor activity which uses an inflatable raft to sail in the
river or other sources of water. The activity is performed in whitewater or different degrees of
rougl-r water. The experience gained frorn rafting is dealing with risk, working as teammates
and boosting confidence. The movement of paddling tones arrns? the back and shoulders.

. Water skiing

Fig 9.6 Skiing

Water skiin-e is a water sport in which tl-re skier is pulled behind a boat body of water or the
skier holds the handle of the rope that is fixeci on the backside of a boat. The driver of the
motorboat increases speed of the boat r,r,hile the skier has to hold balance on the water surface
by standing on the ski. Water skiing takes place in lakes, rivers and oceans. It promotes strong
legs and tones up legs.

. Scuba clivixlg

Fig 9.7 Scuba cliving

Scuba diving is an aitivity in which a swimrner dives in water and stays underwater for
extended periods of tirne using Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus, hence
the acronym Scuba. Scuba divers cany these apparatus for source of breathing gas, usually
colnpressed air. They aliow them greater inciependence and lieedom of movement and longer
rundenr,ater etrdu ra n c e.

hlountaineering

to reach high poittis ili tnountainou: regir-rns liir tire pieasure of the climb. lVlountaineering

58
activities help learners by strengthening their feet, heart and lungs. It also stimulates brain
activity and helps to build team work as it can also be done as a team. The sport is more
restricted to climbing in localities where the terrain and u,eather conditions are safe and a
certain amount of experience is necessary. Mount Nyangani is ideal for mountaineering.

Fig 9.8 Mountaineering

For the untrained, mountaineering can be dangerous if not mastered properly and should be
done with the assistance of an instructor. The athletes are expected to climb rocks protected by
belay rope and sometimes belay each other. For safefy, helmets and harresses must be worn
at all times.

Abseiling
Abseiling is the opposite of climbing and is also known as rappelling. It involves the use of
a specialised rope as one descends down a steep terrain. The ropes enable one to descend
in a
controlled and effective manner. Once the rope is secured and the climber is safely attached,
one can descend slowly in a controlled manner.

Fig 9.9 Participants of abseiling game

It is advisable to execute smooth movements when abseiling since jerky movements are
dangerous. A special knot called the figure of B is used on the abseiling device for
safety.
Participants should have the right harness which allows thern to connect to a friction
device
which allows one to descend in a controlled way. Helmets are required as a safety measure in
case anything above them gets dislodged.

59
Activities

1. Use an atlas to practice map reading.


2. Watch a PowerPoint presentation on water based activities, mountaineering and
abseiling.
3. As a class take a nature walkin a nearby park area with the guidance of a teacher.

OBJECTIVES
Learners should be able to:
. explore relationships with partners, groups and apparatus in balances, weight
transfer and space.

Introduction
Educational gymnastics is all about body management, balance and teamwork. It focuses
on non-competitive and creative approaches to movement. In educational gymnastics each
gymnast is challenged to solve problems, develop body management skills, and create
movements at an appropriate level.

Locomotion
Balance
Balances are performances that require a gymnast to hold their bodies still and maintain an
even distribution of weight. Balance include static and dynarnic. Both these forms of balances
are done at stationary or axial (non-locomotion) positions. Balances can be performed
individually, in pairs or in groups.

63
Individual balances
These are balances that are done by one person. fhey involves weight transference when
one
changes the position of the balance. One can balance on large body parts such as legs,
hands
or back. One can aiso balance on small body parts such as fingers, side of the foot or toes.

Apparatus such as beams or boxes can be introduced in perfr:nning balances. Balancing on


apparatus requires practice and precision so as to avoid injuries. These balances can be done
individually, in pairs or in groups.
Weight transfer
Weight transfer or weight change is the movement of weight from one body part to another.
This can be achieved in many ways such as weight change from hands to feet. Rolling is also
an example of transferring weight.

Topic 11 Music

OBJECTIVES
Learners should be able to:
' record music that can be used as backgi'ound music in relation to given themes
' combine own songs with recorded rnLrsrc as background music in relation to themes.

Introduction
Music can stirnulate enjoyment. sin-eing and rvithout doubt. movement. This movement can
be randonr but can also be organised in relation to the music into a performance. Music
therefore creates a rich environment for phy'sica1 activities. Physical activity rnovements are
done in relation to one's own mnsic or bv irnitating already recorded music in the background.
The background tnusic is usually guided oi'relateci to a given theme to be used in the physical
activities.

Background and performing rnusic


Use of music
Mtrsic has the ability to motivate mol'ernent and speed in physical education. Music can
be r-rsed for two main purposes in mass displays. [t can be used as background music or
performance music.
Background and perlbrming music
Backgrotind rnr"rsic is rnusic that is plat'ed as one is doing any physical activity. It is played
r-rot just fbr enjoyment but also lor various reasons that help one in executing the physical
activities. Uses of background mr,rsic in mass dispiays are as flollows;

7{l
. It motivates, stimulates and inspires one into doing a physical activity r,vith ease and
enjoyment
. It guides and provides patterns movement in mass displays though its rhythms.
. It can be used as a timer guiding the duration of a workout and therefore replacing a clock.
. It arouses the mood and enhances performance.
. There is increase in workout endurance when listening to workout tracks.
. It reduces stress and anxiety.
. Listening to music can help one decrease stress level.

How to record background music


Music recording is a process that has many steps and requires full knowledge of how the
recording process works. However, background music for any mass displays activity can be
composed and recorded with ease when guided. Music can be recorded using ICT tools such
as cellphones, tablets and voice recorders. These tools have the ability to capture audio from
aimost any sound source. These devices have a recording button which is switched on when
the recording process is about to begin. It is switched off when the sound has been captured.
After the recording, the sound flle is then saved on to the device used to record the sound and
used for any desired purpose. However, the recording of background music can be done in a
professional way.
b---

Fig 11.1 ICT tools that can be used to record music (from left), Cellphone. tablet and voice recorder

Performing Music
Music can be composed for a specific type of performance. Performance music is therefore
music made in relation to a specific theme. A theme is a subject matter or an idea that is
required to be brought out by a performance. Therefore, theme-related or thematic music in
physical education helps a performance in bringing out the topic or message in the theme.
When creating music for a theme-related performance, one has to fully understand the theme.
This is because themes are always different and the choice of music helps in bringing out the
theme. Own music can therefore be combined with other recorded music in bringing out a
theme. This is done through selecting the right music for each and every stage of the mass
display performance. This combined music together with selected dance performances jointly
bring out the theme through the performance.

7t
Background music in relation to themes
Background music can be composed in relation to given themes. The musical
composition is often written speciflcaily for a radio programming, television shows, video
games or films. They are played during the opening, closing of programmes and in
solxe instances during the prograrn. Theme-related songs can be used as background
music in sporting activities, on sports channels and for fitness awareness campaigns.
Different musicians can compose bacl<ground music for example, Tanga WekwaSando's
song 'Vskomona Vekwedu ' was composed speciflcally for the Zimbabwean National
Football Team and is usually played on radio whenever the team is engaged in a game.

Activities

1. Compose and record a song you would use as background music for the
theme: " My Education, My Right, My Future
Explain your choice of song(s) in relation to the theme.
2. In groups of '15, create a mass displays performance and perform with a band using
the music you made in activity 1. You can also combine it with any other recorded

Introduction
Art brings life and meaning to objects. Background art is art that establishes any desired
mood or character of the surrounding or environment. Background art can be theme related.
In such cases, the art will show a resemblance that portrays er specific mood and environment
as required by the theme. Art can also bemounted on various materials. When mountecl, it can
then be displayed. The mounts can also be used to create background art in physical education.

Patterns
A pattern is an arrangement or design in which there is repetition of visual elements such as
shapes and colours. Patterns can be seen in background art. It can be found in many patterns
or forms such as shapes, pictures or symbols.
Shapes
A shape is a structural figure or the outline of an object. Basic shapes include a circle, triangle,

OBJECTIVES
Learners should be able to:
. change space and direction with varying rhythm
. perform challenging leveI variations
. perform challenging rhythmic variations
" display through fcrmations that depict rd,.ir:ational" social and econorttic issues.

Introduction
Arena acts involve moverlent of the body in space. f'his movement is usually guided and
organised. The organisational structure of movement is based on thelhythm of the music as
well as the space. Various forms of rnor rntent lrre practiced. Some cau be random and others
can be speciflcally organised or choreographed. Such choreograpired movements illustrate
various formations in their nature during arena acts.

Movement and rhythm


Movement is the way in which the body travels in motion within a provided space. This
motion is usually guided by a rhythm set by background music.
Movement to cover space and direction
Movement is done within space. Space is the location of a performance. Any mass displays
should be done within the boundaries of the marked space. During movement, performers can
alter how they use the space.

Fig l3.I Movement in mass dkPlaYs

80
Movements can be done stylishly from using half of the space, all of it or the middle part of
the space. These changes are made possible through directional changes by performers. The
movement styles can be the same but performers execute them in different directions as a
body and fill up the whole space. They execute this stylishly and creating various patterns
vertically, diagonally, horizontally or circular with changes in direction. Common movement
is in the form of walking, running, marching, shuffiing and dancing.
Varying rhythms using complex themes
Movement can change in many ways as guided by rhythm. Changes in rhythm are in turn
guided by the theme of the movement. Movement themes are designed to combine concepts
into acfual activities on the floor within space. Movement themes include body u*u."r.rr,
space awareness, location, force, direction, time, levels, pathways, extensions effort and flow
relationships.
Choreography
Mass displays performances can be done in an organised nlanner rather than being random.
This creation of arranged and organised movement patterns for a performance is callecl
choreography. Choreography can make use of the AB, ABA and rondo sequences as well as
retrograde in developing a choreographed performance.

Fig 13.2 Choreography performances illu;strating dffirent variations


Arena movements involve both axial and locomotor movements that are choreographed in
many varied ways. Axial movements involve swinging, tilting, tuming, shaking, rotating,
bending, pulling, falling, twisting, stretching and reaching. Locomotorlmovements include
marching, sliding, running, shuffiing, rolling, walking, skipping, jumping, hopping, crawling
and leaping. These movements can be selected and combined stylishly and thematically
into a choreographed performance. In such a case, the movements are executed following a
designed choreography pattern or format that makes the performance organised. Chor.ogruphy
movement combinations can be executed changing the plane, direction or rhythm. For
example, shuffiing can interchangeably be performed vertically, diagonally or horizontally. In
addition it can be done with different rhythmic changes.

81
Formations
Movements can be done in such a way that produces clear arrangements, forms, structures
or patterns. Such movements are called formations. These formations are created by mostly
locomotor movements.

Combined movement and choreography with complex formations


Mass display movements and dance can be choreographed into formations and patterns. These
formations form patterns that can be symmetrical or asymmetrical in how they appear. Simple
formations include patterns like simple shapes circles, lines and letters. Such formations are
created by locomotor movements of performers into such formations within space.

Introduction
Art has always been practiced since the pre-colonial era in Zimbabwe and most parts of
Southern Africa. Artworks found from these countries are seen to comprise of valued cultural
significance as they entail the way of life of the people during the pre-colonial era. However,
these artworks are seen to exhibit different characteristics and forms. This diversity can be
largely attributed to the difference in the cultures of these countries: a factor which is still
influential to date.

Cultural values of artworks of Zimbabwe and Southern Africa


The value of an artwork lies in the story it tells which is known as the content. Many stories or
themes have been deduced from pre-colonial artworks and these include love, hunger, unity,
power, waq traditions and cultures. From the pre-colonial period to date, art has evolved but it
is mainly found in the form of sculptures, paintings. beading, drawings, pottery and basketry.

Artworks of Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe has had a variety of artworks found throughout history which depict a lot of cultural
significance and these include the following.
Sculptures
It is the most popular form of art in African cultures
as stone is an easy material to fincl in
Africa. Stone sculptures in Zimbabwe were made to represent the value that the society and
community placed on the object being sculptured. They were mainly of specific animals which
were viewed as spiritual or considered as a spiritual link with the ancestors or represented the
way of life of a tribe and thus its social identity. Some sculptures were of the kings and chiefs
of the land. Popular Zimbabwean sculptors are Dominic Benhura, Joseph Ndandarika, Agnes
Nhongo, Tapfuma Gutsa andLazarus Takawira.

The Zimbabwean bird (Hungwe)


Pottery
This is the making of pot like objects using baked clay. Pottery products were mainly used for
cooking, storing water and food as well as for decorating the horne. Pottery products, mainly
clay pots, were associated with rirual ceremonies. Their function was to hold brewed beer that
was used in appeasing the spirits (kupira vadzimu). Ritual ceremonies in which pottery was
mainly used include kurova guva and kunamatira myura. Pottery was also placed on top of
graves and at shrines.

Ruins in Bulawayo. These were symbolic and entail a great deal of culture on how the chief
and kings lived socially with the people in the comnrunity vrith each and every member

Weaving and basketry


Weaving is a process that makes use of grass, reeds, animal hair and palm leaves to produce
artworks. These materials were woven in an interlocking manner toproduce artworks that
include baskets, garments, mats and wall hangings. Baskets and mats were the most \ ,o\.en
artworks because of their great importance in agricultural ancl cultural practices. Baskets
were
used for storage of agricultural products and also for ceremonial uses in rituals.
Weaving also
produced garments such as hats, mats and fishing baskets. Clulfurally. woven
baskets are also
trsed durin g lobola ceremonies to hold money. The Binga community is
best knou,n fbr their
high basketry skills.

Cave drawings and paintings - Botswana
Botswana has many rock arid cave drawings that were clone by the Khoisan people. The
famous paintings and drawings are found at Tsodilo Hills. The artwork is unique and mostly
shows animals paintings. The animals in the painting depict totems which identified a clan
or tribe. They believed in the common totems of the zebra, elephant and Cape buffalo as
witnessed by animals in the drawings and paintings.

Art styles from historical eras in Zilnbnbwe and Suuthern Aliict
Almost all the artwork styles were practiced during the pre-colonial period. The only difference
lies in the materials used to make the artworks. The pre-colonial era saw artists producing
aftworks using different natural materials, such as rocks, she|ls, blood and teeth of animals.
The colonial era on the other hand saw artworks being largely influenced and dominated by
the whites as European art dominated especially drawing and painting of portraits. Artwork
in Zimbabwe lost its cultural value and power when missionaries introduced Christianity.
Most of the arlworkproduced during the colonial era used stone and stone sculpture played
a leading role in arts during this colonial period. The post-colonial era saw art,work being
promoted on various platforms. The National Art Gallery was formed to promote local art.
Annual exhibitions for visual arts began to be hosted. Many art galleries were also set up for
local artworks to be exhibited and these include the likes of Chapungu Sculpture park which
was set up in Masasa in 1980 for displaying artwork.

lnfluence of culture on art stvles
' Artworks are noted to be different across ethnic groups and countries on a larger scale.
This is largely due to the influence of culture on the nature of artworks made. This
impact of culture could be noted in artworks through the following:
' Sculptures made resembled different anirnals or people that a culfure believes in or values.
' The pottery made was based on the differcnt ueeds and uses each culture has especially
in ritr-ralistic ceremonies.
Rock art was done based on the activities done by a social group as well as the spiritual
beliefs in animals or totems which a cr.rlture has.
Monuments served comlnemorative purposes and different cultures had different peopie,
sites and events thev commemorated as a societv and cnlture.

Introduction
Danie can be seen to be an important aspect of a people's culture throughout the world.
Many cultural and social activities include dance as the core of the ceremony. SouthernAfrica
has many different danoe cereinonies where dauces like nyau, gumboots, chipisi, agogo, and
kongonya are performed. These ceremonies are of great significance in cultural setups. In
addition, dance is seen to serve many pu{poses in different age groups.

Dance ceremonies from Southern Africa


Dance signifies culture. In most Southem African tribes, ceremonies at which dances were
traditionally performed were considered sacred and not everyone was allowed to perform
dances at such ceremonies. Some of the traditional sacred ceremonies at which dances were
performed included:
. Rain making
. Appeasing the spirits
. Bringing the deceased's spirit in the homestead
. Searching for a lost person
. Praying for crops
. Crowning of chiefs or kings
Dance ceremonies were organised and had a form or structure which include the following:
Origins - Location and the ethnic group where the dance started
Purpose - Function or reason of performing the dance
Ethnic group - The cultural people who performed the dance
Sex dominance- Either males or females dominated a speciflc dance
Taboos- This is what was not allowed to be done during the dance or who was not
allowed to perform it
Attire - This is the specific dressing that was worn by those performing the dance
Musical instruments- The type of instruments that were supposed to be played as
musical accompaniment to the dance
Songs - These were the songs that were required to be sung during the dance
However, with the dawn of colonisation throughout Southern Africa, most of the dance

@
ceremonies changed and new dance styles emerged.
Most of these danced that emerged are
noted to have a colonial influence and they include
the likes of kongonya, chipisi, agogo,
gumboots and pantsula.

calculated by counting the distance or number of steps between the notes starling frorn and
including the bottom note going up to the top note.

fiS 2.1 ittterpals

An interval of a 1", is also referred to as unison whilst that of an eighth or 8u" is called an

octave.

Staff notation
It is a way of writing music making using musical note tiine values. It can be written on
stave showing both rhythm and pitch thus creating a rnelody as below:
It can also be written without pitch and this is mainly done
for percussion and thus only
indicating rhythm as below:

Musical scales
A scale is the arrangement of notes in a specrfic
order of whole and half steps.

Song composition
It is the creation of original music by organising sound. It is usually written forothers to
perform. Composing a song should include the elements of music which are rhythm, pitch
and melody as guidelines in arrangement of the song. It can be done for one singing part or
for more than one thus soprano, alto and tenor. Song composition can also be for instrument
playing.

Harmony
It is the simultaneous sounding of two or more tones. It can be in vocal music where two or
more singing parts are sounding at the same time or when simultaneously playing instruments.
When three singing parts like soprano, alto and tenor are singing different notes at the same
time, three-part harmony results as shown in the extract below:

Tuned and un-tuned musical instruments


Tuned instruments are those that can be adjusted produce a definite pitch. Examples include
marimba, mbira, guitar, violin, bassoon, cello, electric drum, piano and a clarinet.

Introduction
Drawing can be done in many forms in the world or art. One can draw from imagination, from
observation or from areal life object. In all these forms of drawing, artistic techniques such as
the elements and principles of art and design should be illustrated. The same concepts apply
for abstract drawing even though it has its own art principles.

Observational and imaginary drawings


Observational drawing
Observational drawing involves the drawing of arranged
objects from the angle or perspective from which the artist
is viewing them. In observational drawing elements of
afi such as line, shape, colour, value, texture, space and
lighting should be observed.

Observational drawing

Imaginary drawing
This is drawing that comes from within the mind
of the artist. It is dra',.ving that requires an arlist to
have a good imagination, knowledge, experience
and emotion. The only guiding aspect in imaginary
drawing is the limit of the aftist's imaginative mind.

imaginary drawing

Abstract compositions
In some cases, artists tend to create artworks that are very difficult to decipher as to what exactly
the arlist was creating. Such artworks are called abstract cornpositions. The alrangement of
artistic elements and principles in an abstract composition appear to be childish and lacks any
definite pattern or figure. However, the artistic techniques applied have an appealing effect
that makes the artwork beautiful.

Learners should be able to:
. maintain a rehearsal notebook to sketch directions and blocking
. master blocking
. assess the impact of blocking
. use improvisation to discover characters and motivation
. contrast sets suitable for the environment
. create characters suitable for the environment
. use actions that exhibit tension and suspense.

lntroduction
Most theatrical performances involve a lot of movement on the stage by the perfotmers' This
movement of actors should be a guided one, so as to avoid confusion on stage which ends up
distracting the whole play. In some cases, unplanned movetnr:nts or unscripted scenes tend to
pop up during a play. However, characters should be able to n"raintain the therne of the play.
In addition, characters in a play perform actions that draw the audience as well as creating
suspense and tension.
Blocking: Actorsn positions
Blocking is the planning and working o,t of the
movements of actors on stage. Actors tend
move around and about on the stage during to
a play. Therefore there is need to set
blocking movement that allows each and every out proper
character to be seen on stage and also to
an organised flow of events during the create
play by characters through blocking.
Examples of blocking movements on stage
. Walking across the stage
. Climbing the stairs
. Sitting in a chair
. Falling to the floor
. Getting down on bended knee
Improvisation on characters and motivation
Dtrring a play. actors are faced with changes
that emanate on stage. These changes are
unscripted and are mainly due to some actori
fbrgetting their lines or--or.*ents because
too much excitement on stage or motivated of
to .esporra to the needs of the audience.
Improvisation is the spontaneous style of acting
in which actors perform scenes that are not
previously rehearsed and that are not on
the script is called improvisation.
Motivation entails a character's reason to do or
say things in a play.

Actions/tension and suspense


When actors are perfonning during a plav, they
incorporate certain skiils that make a theatrical
performance live and not predictable. The tr,vo

OBJECTIVES
Learners should be able to:
. create movement sequences
. affange movement sequence into dance skits
. use the dance skits for choreography
. demonstrate increased focus, physical control, co-ordination skill and accurate
reproduction in performing locomotor and axial movement
. identify themes for dance
. discuss how to incorporate themes in dance
. create sequence using the identified themes
. rehearse dance skits
. perform dance to a paying audience.

Introduction
Dance performances are organised movements that entail a given theme. Even though dance
is sponianeous when one is listening to music, it can be noted that a dance performance is
more than a spontaneous activity. This is so because it involves creating and arranging the
dance movements to be performed. However, dance movements are subject to change during
a performance resulting in improvised movements being created. Themes in dance enable
performers to create dance skits that can be performed for a paying audience.

Performance of movement sequences


Every dance performance has a speciflc movement sequence. This movement sequence entails
the guide on how dance patterns are to be executed. A movement sequence or pattern is a
repeated sequence of movement ideas, a rhythmic movement sequence, and a spatial design
on the floor or in the air, or a specific relationship or grouping of people during a dance.
Examples of dance movements include:
. Bending . Jumping . Sliding or gliding
Stretching ' Turning , Dart
'
. Rising
Improvisation and choreograPhY
Despite being carefully planned, dance performances somehor;v tend to involve circumstances
when non-rehearsed movements are performed. Changes and unforeseen events can happen
during a dance performance leading to the movement sequence changing and thus the need
for improvisation.
a) Improvisation
It is the act of creating and performing unplanned, unrehearsed or unscripted dance
movements during a dance performance.
b) Choreography
It is the creation and composition of dances by arranging or inventing
steps movements, and
patterns of tlovements for a performance. Choreography
can make use of the AB, ABA and
rondo sequences as well as retrograde in developing a choreographed
performance.
AB Two-part conrpositional fbr-nr rvith rrn A and a B theme
ABA A three-part compositional lorrn in which the second section differs
with the
first section and the third section is an interpretation of the first section
in a
condensed, abbreviated" or extendcd form.
Rondo - A rnusical fbnn in lvhrch a sectior-r is repeated, with contrasting sections
in
between. such as ABACA
Retrograde - The act of taking a seque nce o1'choreography and reversing
the order lrom
back to front.

Elements of dance

" space is the area in and around whicii dance n-loves are performed"
' Time is an element of dance involr in-e rhl'thm phrasing, tempo, accent
and duration.
' Force is the release of potential encrgy into kinetic energy. It utilises
body weight, reveals
the effects of of the body and is prr5ected into space.
-qravity
' Energy is the amount and type of fbrce appiied to movement.
' Shape is the positioning of the body in :ipace and it could be curved.
straight, anguiar,
twisted, symrnetrical.
Locomotor and arial movements
In dance' there are two rnajor types of nrovemeuts. These are axial
and locomotor movements.
a) Axial lrovements are ilrose thal happu,t at a stationary position. These include
swingin,q. tilting, turning, shaking. ioi-,iin-u. bending, pulling. fallir-rg,
twisring.
stretching and reaching.
b) Locomotor lxovelllents are ntovernents that involve travelling through
space.
They include the likes of sliding. mnning, rolling, walking, skipping, jump,
hopping, crawling and leaping.
Thematic dance drama
A dance theme is an idea based on a particulai' subject or topic that a dance
must bring out
through the arrangement of its dance rnovernents. Therefore, movement
patterns are then
cornbined with a dance theme in creating dance skits which are a
short theatrical episode
perforrned in front of an audience in dance or a dance drama. Examples
of dance themes are:
. Animal Theme
. Work Theme
. Military Theme
. Colours Therne
. Space Therne
. School Theme
Create a dance skits using the following movement sequences:
a) Retrograde
b) Rondo
2. Watch your local school dance group performing any ind.igenous dance type and

Introduction
Music is made up of a combination of many elements that are brought together to create
musical pieces. These elements include rhythrn and pitch as the main ones. Both recorded and
live music should display correctly organised musical elements in their performances. It is
these musical elements that are considered when music adjudication is being done.

Elements of music
Music elements are the basic structures upon which mursic is created. A good and organised
an angement of these musical elements brings out aesthetics in music.

Rhythm - Rhythnt is a pattern of regular or irregular pulses which happen in music fron-r
strong and weak rnelodic and harmonic beats.

An example of a rhythm

Pitch - it is the highness or lowness of a tone or sound.

manner of standing that supports singing. Overall affangement of the choir focuses
on the arrangement of choristers in a way that makes every singing part audible
(soprano, alto, tenor).
b) Pitch and attack is all about the choristers being able to sing in the correct key that
is given. It also involves the ability to sing at the recommended dynamic levels as a
choir.
c) Balance and blend is all about how the singing parts sound together to produce
harmony. It also involves the balance of volume levels (dynamics) for these parts.
d) Tone quality and voice production is about the quality of voices produced and the
voice types (tremolo, vibrato) being produced.
e) Conducting is the ability of the conductor or director to lead the choir. The conductor
must show the correct rhythmic movement, time signafure and expressions.
Score and interpretation focuses on the ability of the choir to perform what is
required by the score or musical piece. This involves the execution of performance
directions, rhythmic and melodic structures on the score.
s) Performance directions entail the ability to follow the given markings on the score. '
These include tempo markings, dynamic markings, technique markings and
expressive markings.
h) General musicianship is all about the personal skills that the conductor and choristers
exhibit during the performance.

1. a) Design your own percussion band adjudication sheet clearly stating the
aspects that need adjudicating.
b) Use the adjudication sheet to adjudicate the percussion band at your
school in performing any short musical piece of their choice.
2. Listen to any two songs of your choice from difl'erent genres and assess the
implementation of musical elements in the two songs.

[-earners should tle able to:
. derive meaning in works of art
. analyse form and content used in works of art
' discuss speciflc criterion to be used by individuals or groups to access and critique
works of art
' use elements and principles of design to assess works of art.

Introduction
The beauty of art lies in its form as much as it does in its content. Different works of art
have different meanings depending on how they are rnade. Assessment of these artworks is
guided by evaluation of art elements and principles of desigrr. These include shape among
other, texture, colour and line. When individuals or groups assess and critique works of art, a
speciflc criterion is used.

Aesthetic qualities
Aesthetic qualities entail the beauty of art. For artworks, the aesthetic qualities are seen,
noted or deduced from assessing the artwork's form and content.

fi3-?I
L^r./
a) Form
Form is the three-dimensional volume or the illusion of three dirnensions that can be noted in
artworks. It entails the parlicular characteristics of the visual elements of an artwork.

b) Content
Each and every artwork as created by an artist car-ries with it a message. This message, idea,
or t-eelings expressed in a work of arl is the content of the afiwork. In most cases it is easier to
conclude the message carried in the artwork. However, rt can aiso be noted that viewers tend
to deduce varied content from aftworks ancl this is the beautv of art.
Elements of art
Tone - It is the lightness or darkness of a coloLr:'.
Colour - it is the visual impression that depends on the reflection or absorption of light
from a given surface and iras three characteristics rvhich are hue. value and

. Contrast . Emphasis
i\ssessrnent of arfivorks
For a work of ar1 to be considered to have ,9ood aesthetics it should match the guidelines of
making ar1. This is the way in which art elernents and principles work together to influence
the mood, feeling or tneaning of an artwork. Viewers tend to see artworks differently and also
deduce different meaning or content frrlm artworks. Therefore, ail aesthetics should be guided
by the following principles:
a) Imitation
The major pu{pose of art is to imitate or reconstruct nature.
A11 elements of art are used so as to have a high-quality
imitation. The ability of an artwork to imitate reality proves
it to be an exceptional artwork.

parks and in the street. In addition to the place of performance, dances are also affected by the
music. This is so because the music can be recorded music or live music.

Setting Impact on dance performance

Venue

Studio It has smooth floors that support dancing hence it will produce good
sound from the floor. The floors are meant for dancing therefore
the dancers will not harm their feet

Theatre park It is an open


space with a custom br-rilt dance stage. The floors are
not as smooth as in the studio and are generally made of wood or
cement. Therefore the venue fairly supports dancing. They also
fairly produces a good sound when dancers stomp their feet.
Traditional There are usually in the open space and can be done anywhere.
The floor is generally on the ground without any surface covering.
The floor does not support dancing as the sound is absorbed into
the ground and the.
Music
Recorded It maintains a fixed tempo for the dance and does not allow
room for improvisation. There is no room for adjusting rhythmic
patterns as they will not coincide with the music. It is best suited
for contemporary dances
Live It is a type of music that allows for improvisations and adjustments
during a dance performance especially when mistakes happen. It is
best suited for traditional dances.

Music

OBJECTIVES
Learners should be able to:
. use music software to compose melodies
. insert performance directions to songs using music software
. analyse downloaded and uploaded music from the internet.

Introduction
The global world is fast digitalising and new technologies are being created. Such technologies
have seen their way into music. Software can now easily and accurately do what was once
done manually, especially in song composition. Software like Sibelius ancl Finale has rnany
functions that can notate and express music with accuracy. However, use of the internet
through digitalisation has seen many musical ethics being done away with.
NIusic technology
It is the use of both hardware and software applications and tools to create and perform. Music
software enables musical compositions to be done fast, easy and precise with many tools to
edit and arrange a composition. The most common and user friendly software are Sibelius and
Finale.

Music software is capable of notating music in both staff notation and solfege. The two
notations can be interchanged as per the Jesilcs of the colnposer. Changing music fiom one
notation to another is called transcription. The contposer can chose any output format after
completion of the work from like portable document fonnat (Pdf), midi, audio or even video.
This is possible through the use of plug-ins tirat the software have. in addition, if tonic solfa
is chosen, the software automatically shows the key in which the music has been written in as
shown in the example below:

opens the application. it shorvs a qtiick star-t menu where setup is done. This involves selection
of the singing parls neecled. time and key signature to be used as well as score information

Ethics in music and the internet


Ethics in music necessitate the good and right principles or acceptable behavior in the practice
of music such as:
' Composing music that has a positive irnpact on the society addressing social issues.
' Performing music that raises a positive awareness within the community.
' Create music that communicate and Lrphold good morals and traditions of a people.
. Composing original music and avoiding copyright infringement.
. Desisting frorn pirating music of another arrist.

Technology and the internet make music readily available for everyone's consumption.
However, uploading and selling music on the internet should be solely done by the owner
of the copyrights. This is done so as to do awav with piracy and copyrights infringement. In

Introduction
The world is now a technological globe in which hardware and software are being employed
to make work easier. Visual Arts is a field that is now filled with many technological tools
and applications. These enable artists to create artworks with ease and provide them with
many editorial tools that can be used on artworks. These sofhvare packages can even be used
for the production and regeneration of past and present artworks. Different software such as
Adobe, CorelDraw and Photo Paint are used to produce various artworks. This modern day
technology proves to be effective than technology in the past but should be used following art
and design ethics.

Visual arts technology


This technology is able to create artworks faster, easier and provides a wide spectrum of
editing tools to change the appearance of artworks as per the artist's desires.
Visual arts technology involves the use
of digitalized tools and applications in
creating or presenting artworks. Some of
the digital and information Communication
Technology (ICT) tools used in visual arts
are laptops, computers, phones, 3D printers
and cameras.

Introduction
Theatrical productions require specific effects that have the abiliry to enhance the performance
of the play. These effects include sound, visual and lighting effects. The effects are added to
the theatrical plays in an organised and controlled manner that is suitable for the play. The
stage representation of an action or a story or a dramatic cornposition can also be in the form
of a one-act play. Ethical considerations should always be applied in theatrical plays.

Theatre arts technology


Theatre productions require appropriate etlects to aid and enhance a theatrical performance.
The effects can be scene centered or they can apply to the play as a whole. Technological
effects usually found in theatre are sound. visual and light effects.
a) Sound effects
These are intensified sounds that are rised to reinfbrce the perfornance of actors in a
theatrical play. Sound effects irave the tendency of bringing out reaiity or exaggerate
sounds. When actors perform, artiflcial sounds can be applied to intensify gestures and
movement. The sound is controlled electronically and has to be played at exactly the
sante time that the gestures and movenrents are done. Sound effects also set moods and
ernotions of the pla,v.
b) Visual effects
This is the use of make-up.which involves cosmetics and costumes or attire that actors
wear when performing on stage. These are done to emphasise facial features, historical
periods, characterisations and ethnic groups amongst other theatrical designs. Visual
effects tend to draw the audience more into the performance and relate to a character.
c) Light effects
This is the use of artificial lighting during a theatrical performance. Lighting is used
so as to make the actors more visible. Lights are also used to focus on and enhance the
main acts. The stage lights include sidelights, front lights and backlights. The lighting
is controlled electronically and can be designed to produce varied colours depending on
the requirements of the play in different scenes. Lighting also sets the tone and mood
of the play.

Careers paths in the field of Arts Technology


The career opportunities in the Arts Technology of theatre are endless. Amongst the many, the
following is a list of some career paths:
. Sound, visual, lighting and backstage technician
. Actor

Introduction
Dance like many other performing arts call for induced technological effects. These are
needed so as to enhance the quality of the dance and bring out the desired dance theme. Such
effects involve music, sound, lighting, set design and visual effects. Dance performers are
also making use of the internet to upload and market their dance as well as to interact and
download performances from other dancers. Therefore, there is need to have ethical practices
in dance when using the internet.
Dance technology
It is the use of technological applications
and tools in dance performances and productions.
This technology focuses on incorporation of effects such as lighting, visual, sound, musical
and also set designs.

@
a) Lighting
This is the use of artificiai lighting during a dance perfonnance. Lighting is used so as
to make the perfbnlrers more visual and also to focus on and enhance the main dance
acts. The stage lights include sidelights. front lights and backlights. The iighting is
controlled electronically and can be designed to produce varied colours depending on
the requirements of the dance theme and performance as a whole.

b) Visual
This is the use of make-up artistr)' and attire that the clance performers wear on stage
so as to emphasise faciai featLrres. historical periods. characterisations and ethnic
groups amongst other dance concepts. Visr-ral effects tend to draw the audience more
into the perfonnance and also have the ctlect of conceptualising a dance and clearly
portraying a dance theme.
c) Sound
These are intensified sounds tirat are used in conjunction with dance patterns,
cspecially ihe rhytl-rnric stepping in', o1r eii in dancc. SoLrnd effects have the tendency
of emphasising movements iike gliding. turnirre. .jumping, stretc:hing or rising. The

d) Music
{t is di{icult to separate rlusic and dance. Musical effects involve the songs that serve
as inusicai accompanirnent io the clancc peribrmance. The music can be plaved and
ireard from the sta-ee speakels oi' it can be live n'rusic sung by the performers. This

Ethics in dance and the internet
Ethics are the acceptable principles that govern the practice of anything. Dance is no
exception hence, dance performers need to abide to good ethics in their practice. As dancers,
the following ethics should be observed, especially when using the internet:

' Practice and perform dance styles that are acceptabie within the society and community.
' Perform and market cultural dances that preserve the culture of the society.
.
' Avoid copying dance styles and choreographed material that belongs to other groups
without permission.
' Avoid uploading dance style videos that are not well perfcrrmed or well researched on,
especially culfural ones, as they will be an insult to the culture the dance belongs to.
It is also encouraged fordance performers to have their own official pages on the internet
where they publish their videos and choreographies. This will also prevent or reduce their
dance copyrights from being infringed.

Musical instruments
There are two types of musical instruments and these are tuned and untuned. Tuned instruments
are those that can produce a definite pitch and can have the pitctr adjusted. Untuned instruments
on the other hand cannot produce a definite pitch. Making musical instruments is a process
that requires knowledge of the instrument to be made. The following are some points to
consider when making a musical instrument:
. Is it a tuned or untuned instrument?
. Material is best suited for the instrument
. Sound production of the instrument
. Dimensions for the instrument
. Stages in construction of the instrument
. Purpose of the instrument
' After construction of the instrument, it is usually ideal to have an exhibition where
the maker showcases his or her musical instruments for selling purposes.
Business ethics
a) Soft skills
Soft skills are personal characteristics which enable one to interact and get along
well with other people. They include communication skiils, respect, positive attitude,
listening skills and flexibility. Good communication and listening skills are very
important in musical productions. This is seen through helping other musicians, doing
collaboration songs with other artists, supporting and nurturing young and upcoming
singers.

b) Unhu/Ubuntu/Vumunhu
Unhu/ ubuntuir,umunhu is oneness as well as togetherless which is a humanitarian
aspecl. in the music business industry it is encourage<i to have business plactices that
resemble and promotes oneness in the societies. It can be noted through performing
on concerts anci galas with other artists.
c) Copyrightprotection
Copyright laws protect the work of an artist in music so 1.hat other musicians will not
claim ownership of music or use it in their own music without permission. Record
labels and associations like Zimbabwe Music R.ights A.ssociation [ZIMURA] help
artists protect their work.
Marketing music
Music can be marketed in many ways. Many musir: stakeholders piay a leading role in
marketing music and these include promoters, record labels and retail shops amongst others.
Music advertisements are used to make people aware of musical products. These can be
done through use of media, posters, promotional ciothing and fliers. Digital marketing is also
used to market and promote music. Promoters and events planners also plan live shows and
concerts as a way of promoting and marketing music.
