Complete the Physical Development Checklist. Pick a child in each video to observe and watch for the skills on the checklist. You would typically be observing the same child and documenting the date that you observed the skill. In this case, you will note in which video you observed the skill. For example, if the child you choose to watch in video A jumped in place you would place and “A” on the checklist next to that skill. ATTACH THE COMPLETED PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT CHECKLIST AS YOUR OBSERSERVATION RECORD/EVIDENCE.

Skills you observed (1-3 skills from this area of development you know the child has developed based on the evidence)
