Details

Discover and discuss the forces at work during volleyball. Students use a variety of balls to see how different materials affect the momentum, velocity, and distance of a serve. Use a radar gun to record speed and track it in a journal. Students also calculate total contact time and learn how technology influences the sport. Complete Pack includes an eight-part curriculum with teacher's manual, volleyballs, radar gun, and other supplies to run experiments. No Sport Equipment Set includes items that may not be readily available in the PE closet, allowing teachers to use their own sports balls. Manual also sold separately. Educators Pick Best of STEM 2023 Award Winner. Accommodates 12 students. Recommended for Elementary and up.

Standards Alignment

Next Generation Science Standards*:

3-PS2-1: Plan and conduct an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object.
3-PS2-2: Analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or a pull.
4-PS3-1: Use models to explain how energy from food can be transformed into energy for movement.
5-PS1-3: Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.
3-5-ETS1-1: Define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.
3-5-ETS1-2: Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.
3-5-ETS1-3: Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.
MS-ETS1-1: Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution.
MS-ETS1-4: Develop a model to illustrate the design process, showing how different iterations can lead to improvements in the design.
MS-PS1-2: Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred.
MS-PS1-3: Gather and synthesize information to explain how the law of conservation of mass is applied during a chemical reaction.
MS-PS2-2: Plan and conduct an investigation to determine the effect of force on the motion of an object.
MS-PS3-1: Develop a model to describe that energy in food can be transferred to other objects or systems.
MS-PS3-4: Plan and conduct an investigation to demonstrate the transfer of energy within a system.
MS-PS3-5: Design and evaluate a device that converts energy from one form to another, using appropriate scientific principles.
