Science of the Olympic Winter Games
This from the National Association of Science Teachers:
NBC Learn, the educational arm of NBC News, has teamed up with the National Science Foundation (NSF) to produce Science of the Olympic Winter Games , a 16-part video series that explores the science behind individual Olympic events, including Downhill and Aerial Skiing, Speed Skating and Figure Skating, Curling and Hockey, and Ski Jumping, Bobsledding and Snowboarding.
This project between the NSF and NBC Learn uses the global spotlight of the Olympics to make science more accessible and more interesting to students by showing how science helps athletes fulfill the Olympic motto: Citius, Altius, Fortius or Swifter, Higher, Stronger.
You can watch the videos here or download lesson plans here on science topics as diverse as: conservation of momentum and hockey; torque, friction and aerial skiing; lung power and cross-country skiing; drag and aerodynamic suit technology; composite materials and ski design; and more!
