Brainstorm Ideas: 
Model how to choose a type of exercise and record questions about its benefits.  I'd like to learn more about swimming.  One question I have is "Can swimming be exercise?"  Another question I have is "How can swimming help me stay healthy?"
Explain to children that they are going to choose a type of exercise to become the topic of their research report and record a question they have about it.
Connect to this weeks Read Aloud Book - Get Up and Go!  This books tells how exercise helps your body and shows a lot of different ways to exercise.  Some of them you might not even think of as exercise, like playing tag and dancing!
Have partners - Think - Pair - Share (Microsoft Teams Breakout Rooms) to take turns telling each other one way to exercise and one question.  Remind children to use their "partnering voices" and complete sentences to respond: I want to learn more about ... One question I have is...  Choose several children to share their topics and questions with the class.
