Value of Activities for SEHS Classroom:
These activities provide SEHS students with a practical understanding of biomechanics, motion, and energy in sports. By engaging in hands-on experiments, students will gain insight into how physical laws and principles directly affect sports performance and athletic outcomes.
List of Activities and Summations:
- Exploring Newton’s Laws of Motion:
Investigates Newton’s laws of motion and their application in both linear and angular motion in sports.
- Fluid Mechanics and Projectile Motion:
Explores how fluid mechanics and external forces influence the flight path of projectiles in sports.
- Friction in Sports Performance:
Analyzes the role of friction in movement and how it impacts sports performance on various surfaces.
- Work, Power, and Energy in Sports:
Examines the concepts of work, power, and energy transformation and their relevance to athletic performance.
- Collisions and Momentum:
Investigates how collisions affect momentum and applies the impulse-momentum principle to changes in motion.
