Sports Science is Newton’s Laws at play! If you want to design a skateboard park, throw a fast ball, or learn to fly an airplane you need to understand concepts like inertia, flow, propulsion and parabolic arc. Sports provide a FUN way for students to make connections to physical science. Moving to cool songs, playing games, and conducting mini-experiments engages students with the science and math behind the sports they love. (CEU)
