* about bones and muscles * about the circulatory system * about the respiratory system * about the nervous system * how to stay fit * about time and space * about gravity and other forces * about acceleration and power * sharing and caring * courage and confidence * cooperation * critical thinking * problem solving * decision-making * to express yourself *
