Connections
- Earth Science
- 8.E.3. Identify and
describe the
atmospheric and
hydrospheric
conditions related
to weather
systems.
- The hydrosphere is apart of the liquid
atmosphere that covers 70% of the surface
which can affect the progress of the sport
you are doing due to the amount of
precipitation.
- Depending on the amount of
precipitation a game could be cancelled.
- Astronomy
- 8.D.3. Recognize and explain the effects of the tilt of the Earth’s axis.
- During a game the tilt could and rotation could affect
the lighting, meaning that in curtains seasons it could
get darker quicker or slower.
- So depending on the season and
time light may be out or not.
- Biology
- 8.D.1. Recognize and describe that evolutionary change
in species over time occurs as a result of genetic
variation in organisms and environmental changes.
- The sports back in older times weren’t the
same as sports now and days so as time
progressed the athlete's body had adapted
to the different conditions for the sport.
- In older times the sports were not as
dangerous so now athlete's bodies have
changed.
- Chemistry
- 8.B.1. Provide evidence to support the fact that
idea of atoms explains conservation of matter.
- As the game goes on depending on the athlete’s potassium levels the
sweat that comes out of your pores can change to salt particles that
can be seen on the skin.
- Which means that before a game an athlete
needs to be hydrated and watch the potassium
level.
- Physics
- 8.A.2. Identify and relate formal ideas
(Newton’s Laws) about the interaction of
force and motion to real world
experiences
- In certain sports the law of inertia comes into play
such as in football, a runner is in motion and his
motion will stop if an opposite force that is the
same or stronger will stop them.
- But it all depends on the mass
and force of the person in order
for momntum to shft or stop
- Thermodynamics
- 8.B.1. Describe and cite evidence that heat can be transferred by
conduction, convection and radiation.
- In outdoor sports people where black
strips under their eyes in order to see
because the color/shade of black
absorbs the radiation of the sun.
- This is why most outdoor
athletes have a strip of black
tape under their eyes this makes
the game easier for more sunny
areas
- Environmental Science
- 8.B.1. Recognize and explain how human activities can accelerate
or magnify many naturally occurring changes.
- Certain activities done before a
game such as caring for the field
can require fossil fuels.
- When the field is being mowed the
vehicles run on fossil fuels which can
damage the air
