Why does a football spiral? How do some athletes jump so high? The
answer is science! The Secret Science of Sports helps kids better
understand concepts of science, technology, engineering, and math
through the sports they love to play and watch. Every sport -- from
baseball to basketball, to football and soccer, to wrestling,
tennis, and lacrosse -- involves a bit of science, technology,
engineering, and math. You can't throw a ball without Newton's Law
of Motion, and you can't calculate a player's stats without math.
And every type of sports equipment -- a helmet, cleats, shoulder or
knee pads -- were designed with the latest engineering and
technology. The Secret Science of Sports breaks down normally
difficult STEM concepts like forces of motion, gravity, algebra,
and even neuroscience, in a language kids can -- and will want to
-- understand. Divided into sections like chemistry, biology,
physics, technology, and more, this handy guide uses examples from
sports like soccer, baseball, softball, football, hockey, lacrosse,
tennis, and others to explain important STEM concepts for kids ages
8 to 12. They'll learn how to use math to calculate a batter's
average, why a tennis racket is shaped the way it is, how biology
affects athletic performance, the aerodynamics behind competitive
swimsuits, and much more. With dozens of original, captivating
illustrations to engage young readers, kids will have fun while
learning about key STEM ideas that will prepare them for years of
schooling to come.
