The Arizona Health Education and Physical Education
Standards Articulated by Grade Level provide a foundation for
all students. These standards are well articulated across the
grade spans. Concepts and skills that are critical to the

• Knows the implications and the benefits of involvement in various types of physical activities.
• Participates regularly in physical activity.
• Is physically fit.
