STEM Sports - Basketball Kit
STEM Basketball gives students the opportunity to get behind the sport they love with lessons centered around the contents of basketballs, the innovation and technology behind basketball shoes, creating their own shooting devices, figuring out their own shooting percentages, and much more. The STEM curriculum allows students to understand the science behind the sport with these hands on learning exercises.
Get to Know:
This hands-on method of learning the STEM fundamentals behind the game of basketball will drive students towards their goals of not only becoming better players, but also becoming better students as they get the answers to the “why” questions that surround the game. The STEM Basketball curriculum will assist students’ growth and potential both on and off the court through eight lessons, including:
- Understanding the contents of a basketball on the molecular level and how temperature affects play
- Evaluating the changes that basketball shoes have made over time and why
- Engineering their own shooting apparatus to explain Newton’s Laws
- Teaching students how to calculate their own field goal percentage, just like the greatest players in the NBA
While we cannot promise students will be able to execute a slam dunk, they will certainly feel like they did after experiencing the STEM Basketball program.
