Physics in Sport: Rowing
In this activity, students must hollow out a cucumber to use as a model rowing boat. By adding weights to the boat they can learn about buoyancy and upthrust. They add modelling clay rowers to the boats and can then compete to see if their rowing boat will make it across a large container of water without sinking...
Physics in Sport: Shooting
This resource sets a challenge to create a catapult, using lollipop sticks, to fire a marshmallow up into the air. The design of the catapult allows students to investigate the principle of moments. Teams investigate how changing the pivot point will affect the height that the marshmallow achieves and then...
Physics in Sport: Swimming
In this resource, by performing tests on the speed with which different materials move through water, students will provide a recommendation as to the best material for professional swimmers to use in the pool. The investigation requires repeated measurements for the time taken for a ball, wrapped in the...
Built around the common core of physics A Level syllabuses this book, which is one of a series of eight titles, covers all the compulsory content with the aim of promoting independent learning for post-16 students....
