Physical Education Paper 3 WASSCE (SC), 2019

Question 1

 

1.  Using appropriate techniques at the run-up, take-off, flight and landing phases, execute triple jump such that a good distance is covered.      [25 marks]

 

Observation

 

 

This question was attempted by majority of the candidates and their performance was fairly good.
However, the expected answers are as follows:
 
Activity 1:      Triple Jump.

Procedure:      Each candidate is allowed to perform three trials of triple jump. The measurement between the take-off board and the landing pit/area should be 5m.


Use the scale of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 to rate the candidate’s performance on run-up, take-off, flight and landing.
