skateboarding & the Science Connection
- Earth Science
- 8.E.3. Role of Water
- it talks about how with weather systems where most of the weather takes places on the troposphere.
- skateboarders would ride on top of the surface on flat surfaces
- Explain how sedimentary rock is formed (embedding plant and animal remains and leaving a record
of the sequence in which plants and animals disappeared)
- Astronomy
- 8.D.2. Regular and Predictable Motion
- Identify and explain celestial phenomena using the regular and predictable motion of objects in the
solar system
- it include the various phases of the Moon, meteor showers, comets, solar and lunar eclipses, planetary
oppositions, conjunctions, and occultations.
- When a skateboarder goes on a halfpipe it makes a revolution around.
- Biology
- 8.D.1. Change Over Time
- Recognize and describe that evolutionary change in species over time occurs as a result of genetic
variation in organisms and environmental changes.
- It talks about of over a certain time things start to change into a different thing because of the environment changing ot because of a natural cause of genitics being mixed.
- The way people use their bodies to maneuver the skateboard. It takes balance and coordination to
properly control a skateboard. They use different ways of doing this. And it changes over time with people coming up with different things.
- Chemistry
- 8.D.3. Chemical Reactions:
- Provide evidence to support the fact that common substances have the ability to change into new
substances.
- how people can use wood to change into a wooden chair.
- The wheels are usually made of polyurethane. The trucks are usually an aluminum alloy. There are
other metals used.
- Physics
- 8.A.1. Motion:
- Develop an explanation of motion using the relationships among time, distance, velocity and
acceleration.
- Once time has passed mountains tend to change because of weathering.
- It takes physical reasoning to figure out how fast to go and how much time it takes to do a trick.The
speed = distance /time knowledge is the math of skateboarding physics.
- Thermodynamics
- 8.B.2. Heat Transformations
- Identify and explain that heat energy is a product of the conversion of one form of energy to
another.
- When heat is on your body the wind takes it away to make you cooler.
- When a skateboarder is trying to attempt a trick it takes a lot of its energy to be able to succeed.
Also with all the work sweat starts to be created.
- Environmental Issues
- 8.B.1. Environmental Impact
- Recognize and explain how human activities can accelerate or magnify many
naturally occurring changes.
- Skateboarding takes a lot of thinking and also it takes a lot of energy for you to actually complete it.
- We humas can help the world by using more natural things to change the world and help it. So that a lot of carbn dioxide isn't in the air so much.
