Edventures Sports Science Program
Students get up and active with sporting science experiments in this movement-based program.
Pique students' interests with their favorite sports as they discover how scientific concepts like forces of motion, gravity, friction, and more are involved. First, students learn the science behind sports like football, soccer, or tennis. Then it's fun and games as they play their favorite sports!
Perfect for summer camps, classrooms, or homeschools, these activities are great for facilitating collaboration and building social skills. The program provides materials for students to complete 12 activities that take approximately 1 hour each. Accommodates 30 students. Recommended for Lower Elementary.

Common Core Math Standards*:
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.MD.A.2: Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.G.A.1: Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g., triangles are closed and three sided) versus non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size); build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.G.A.3: Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, fourths, and quarters, and use the phrases half of, fourth of, and quarter of. Describe the whole as two of, or four of the shares. Understand for these examples that decomposing into more equal shares creates smaller shares.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.MD.A.1: Measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.MD.A.3: Estimate lengths using units of inches, feet, centimeters, and meters.
