It’s time to put your game face on, because in this 1-2 week-long unit we’re going to explore the concepts of forces and motion through the sports your students love. Along the way, we’ll observe phenomena, ask questions, analyze data, perform hands-on investigations, create model diagrams, take a virtual field trip, do an engineering design challenge, break some eggs and even smash a watermelon or two!

In the end, students will gain an understanding of how to answer this overarching unit question: How can I get better at any ball sport using the science of forces and motion?
