Science in Sport Project - Forces and Motion

Imagine, then design and perhaps make new sports equipment.

OR

Choose a sports skill. Improve your skill using science and practice.

Make it and be able to give a science explanation about how and why it works differently. This can include a demonstration, diagrams, written and oral explanation

Science ideas can be based on gravity... friction... Newton's laws... inertia... air pressure... aerodynamics...

Record the process - from brainstorm, early diagrams and plans, measurements etc.
Use a variety of media: text, photos, video, diagrams, PowerPoint, podcasts etc

Assessment

Explaining Science Ideas.

Novice: We can’t explain our science idea

Apprentice: We have attempted to explain a science idea.
Practitioner: We can explain two science ideas in our sport using precise science vocab
Expert: We can clearly explain a variety of science ideas (3 or more), using precise science vocabulary to a high standard.

Recording the Process:

Novice: We have little to show others about our process.
Apprentice: We have some, recordings of our process using a variety of media.
Practitioner: We have regular recordings of our process using a variety of media.
Expert: We have detailed, regular recordings of our process using a variety of media.

Personal Investigations

You have shared some fabulous Personal Investigations. Have you noticed the huge variety of interests and presentation methods?

Most of you will already have worked out what topic you will do this term. Remember your topic needs to include some research, using books, internet - or you can learn from people - as Estelle did when she interviewed her Niuen granddad - or you can learn by doing as Brianna did when she tested out all the playgrounds in Palmerston North.

This term some of you will need to narrow your topics a little. Instead of asking "What can I find out about ... egg plants? ... worms? ... the Universe?", you'll need to ask a more specific question. eg "What are an emu's predators?" or "What are the Palio Contrade and what are their symbols?" or "How were Medieval castles defended?"

Of course if you are learning a new skill or designing / creating / constructing something new, then this won't affect you.

Some of you have already started your next investigation. If you haven't started yet, you need to get moving. While it is possible to do an investigation in a couple of days, this should be a term's worth of effort.

Basic Facts Ladder

The Basic facts ladder is a tool to assist your Basic facts knowledge.

This progression is to help you with the next learning step. Ask your grown-up to help you, then I'll do checks with you back at school.

Have fun climbing the ladder , look ahead and don't be scared of heights.
