Glide, Spin, & Jump: The Science Of Ice Skating: Volume 2: Data And Graphs For Science Lab: Rotational (Curved) Motion: Footwork

Learn about the Physics of Ice Skating!Translational and Rotational Motion! Position, Velocity, Acceleration, & Force!In this book, readers gain access to real scientific data pertaining to the science of ice skating, promoting graph-reading, comparison, contrast, and calculation skills. Graphs show data from the following scientific instruments: Wireless Dynamics Sensor System Force Plate This book allows readers to analyze real data without purchasing expensive lab equipment. Graphs show the movement of a skater across synthetic ice. Moves demonstrated include starting and stopping, forward and backward stroking, turning and footwork (3-turns, brackets, rockers, counters, mohawks, and choctaws), and gliding (camel position, spirals). These data can be used for lesson plans by teachers and parents. Bonus Material: Other features include graphs of the forces involved in stepping, and graphs of a skater falling through thin ice. Plus, appendices include diagrams of a left-right color-coded cartoon character, ?lue Dude,?demonstrating footwork and skating positions.
