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
