Elementary All Subjects: Physical Education — Movement, Health and Safety

The answer is “grasping mind and body as one”. The objective reads “grasping mind and body as one, ... to realise a rich sporting life throughout life.” The other options are not in the text; a focus only on skills, fitness or competition does not fit the objective.

The answer is “Expressive and rhythm play (表現リズム遊び)”. The Grade 1–2 areas are body-building play, play with apparatus, running/jumping play, water play, games, and expressive and rhythm play (all but games end in “play”). Apparatus gymnastics is from Grade 3 up; track and field and ball sports are Grade 5–6 names.

The answer is “Running and jumping exercise (走・跳の運動)”. Grades 3–4 use “running and jumping exercise.” “Running and jumping play” is the Grade 1–2 name and “track and field” the Grade 5–6 name. “Exercises to improve body movement” is a type of exercise within Grade 5–6 body-building exercise, not an area.

The answer is “Soft volleyball”. Goal type: basketball and soccer; net type: soft volleyball; baseball type: softball. Softball is baseball type and basketball goal type; tag rugby is an alternative for the goal type, not net type.

The answer is “Games where teams mix to take points or territory”. It specifies games where the two teams intermingle to score points, and games to take territory. Taking turns hitting and running describes baseball type, and teams split by a net describes net type; a single player hitting a target is not mentioned.

The answer is “Flexibility and skilful movement”. The text says to focus on improving flexibility and skilful movement, e.g. exercising to music. Powerful movement and sustaining movement are included in the content but are not the focus. Endurance, strength, explosive power and agility are not wording from the text.

The answer is “Floating for a long time on the back and bobbing”. The text says floating for a long time on the back and bobbing. The 25 m clothed distance is not in the text. A diving start is wrong: starts are taught from in the water. Gliding and simple strokes are Grade 3–4 content.

The answer is “They may be omitted, but the rules must be taught”. They may be omitted, but the rules (心得) must always be covered. 'Practical lessons must still be held' and 'the rules are also omitted' contradict the text; increasing track-and-field hours is not stated.

The answer is “Disease prevention”. Grade 3: a healthy life; Grade 4: growth and development; Grade 5: mental health and injury prevention; Grade 6: disease prevention.

The answer is “About 16 over the two years”. About 16 unit hours over two years. About 8 is the figure for Grades 3–4, and hours are not set per year.

The answer is “Pathogens, body resistance, lifestyle behaviour, environment”. Illness arises from pathogens, the body’s resistance, lifestyle behaviour and the environment interacting. The other options partly overlap but are not the set in the text.

The answer is “Effects of organic solvents on mind and body”. Teaching centres on the effects of organic solvents, also touching on stimulants. Medicines, cannabis law and tobacco addiction are not named as the focus.

The answer is “Banning all activity in dangerous places”. The text lists noticing dangers, acting safely with sound judgement, and making the environment safe. A total ban is not mentioned.

The answer is “Done in every area except health, starting with body-building”. It is done in every area of every grade except health, starting with body-building play/exercise. The other options contradict this.

The answer is “102 in Grade 1 and 90 in Grade 5”. Grade 1: 102; Grades 2–4: 105; Grades 5–6: 90. “105 in every grade” is wrong as hours differ by grade; “90 in Grade 1 and 105 in Grade 6” reverses the figures; “102 in Grade 3 and 102 in Grade 6” is wrong for both grades.
