Engineering in Sports

Description:

Imagining themselves arriving at the Olympic gold medal soccer game, students begin to think about how engineering is involved in sports. After a discussion of kinetic and potential energy, an associated hands-on activity gives students an opportunity to explore energy absorbing materials as they try to protect an egg from being crushed.
