Ways you can jump

Jumping means lifting your whole body into the air quickly. There are different ways you can jump: up or down (vertical jumps). Forwards or backwards (horizontal jumps). Or to the side (side jump).

The phases of jumping

Jumping has three steps:

The more force you use the further you will go.

1 Propulsion, which is the force you need to jump.

2 Flight, which is the time your body is in the air.

3 Landing, which is the time from the highest point in your jump to the moment you touch the ground.

3 Look at the children in the pictures. Write in your notebook, use your own words to explain the three phases of a jump.
