Listed here are suggested learning experiences for students before attempting this assessment. Describe ball games that require throwing and catching and explain the types of movements they make in those games. For example, students may say that they have to run to catch the ball, throw with two hands, throw underarm or throw the ball high. Describe how different parts of the body are used when throwing and catching. Students are able to point to the muscles and limbs they use and suggest how they contribute to the actions of throwing and catching. and catch medium-sized balls in pairs. Students explore as many ways as possible for throwing and catching and describe which of these they found best. Watch the teacher demonstrate and explain the correct throwing technique, including ball grip, for underarm, overarm, one-handed, two-handed, chest and overhead pass. Students then practise throwing using the correct techniques (refer to Appendix A, Throwing and catching skills). Demonstrate and explain to students the correct catching technique for using two hands, catching both small and large balls from different heights and angles. They then practise catching using the correct techniques (refer to Appendix A, Throwing and catching skills). Challenge students by increasing the distance they have to throw, and changing the size and shape of the ball. Students explain why it is more difficult to throw and catch over a longer distance, and provide a logical explanation, based on what they know, as to which type of throw is better over distance, better for accuracy and is easiest to catch.
