Olympics

Even though the Olympics just finished, you may be worried about withdrawl from your favorite winter sport. Fear no more! We will be completing a project for this marking period in relation to the different sports from the Winter Olympics. Below are the instructions.

Choose a Winter Olympic Sport and research the different physics concepts associated with the sport. You will need to research multiple physics concepts and think of a creative way to share what you've learned with the class. This project is an individual project. In addition to researching the physics of your chosen sport, you will also need to find a way to connect it to another curriculum area (i.e. history, english, math, art of food prep, spanish, etc). Be creative! Write a news article on a famous athlete, explain some of the history of the sport, come up with your own original idea.

Here is the Rubric for the Project-
