Projectile Science: The Physics Behind Kicking a Field Goal and Launching a Rocket with Science Activities for Kids: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Projectile Science: The Physics Behind Kicking a Field Goal and Launching a Rocket with Science Activities for Kids" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

What are the forces behind ballistics? Why do rocks and rockets soar through the air in an arch?The game is on the line. Suddenly, you hear the crack of a bat and the roar of crowd. Where will the ball land? How far will it travel? Is it a home run?You might think that hitting a home run or nailing a three-pointer is just luck, but there are many forces at work that determine if youve made a game-winning shot or the final out. If youve ever kicked a ball, thrown a rock, or even played Angry Birds, youve experimented with the forces behind ballistics.In Projectile Science: The Physics Behind Kicking a Field Goal and Launching a Rocket with Science Activities for Kids,one of four titles in the Technology for Today set, kids ages 10 to 15 learn why projectiles follow the paths they do and what factors influence those paths. Readers who are fascinated with potato cannons, slingshots, and rocketry will love taking that next step and applying what they learn about the laws of physics to the science of figuring out where to aim.Math is the language you use to understand the science of ballistics. In this book, readers will learn about the forces that act on the projectiles and how to calculate those forces to make educated predictions about where their homemade rockets and other projectiles will land. 25 Safe, hands-on STEAM activities using materials that are easy to acquire are a terrific way to foster real-life learning about ballistics. Kids will perform Galileos famous test for gravity, create clinometers to measure height and distance, and build a machine that can throw curve balls.Essential questions that promote critical examination of the science, primary sources, online videos, and science-minded engineering activities let readers have a blast learning about the physics of ballistics! In the Technology for Today set, readers ages 10 to 15 explore the digital and tech landscapes of today and tomorrow through hands-on STEAM activities and compelling stories of how things work, who makes them work, and why. Titles in this set include Industrial Design: Why Smartphones Arent Round and Other Mysteries with Science Activities for Kids; Big Data: Information in the Digital World with Science Activities for Kids; Projectile Science: The Physics Behind Kicking a Field Goal and Launching a Rocket with Science Activities for Kids; and Artificial Intelligence: Thinking Machines and Smart Robots with Science Activities for Kids.Nomad Press books integrate content with participation. Common Core State Standards, the Next Generation Science Standards, and STEM Education all place project-based learning as key building blocks in education. Combining content with inquiry-based projects stimulates learning and makes it active and alive. Nomads unique approach simultaneously grounds kids in factual knowledge while allowing them the space to be curious, creative, and critical thinkers.

Down by a point with only seconds left in the game, you square up your shoulders to take the final shot. Over the outstretched hands of the defender, you release the basketball and watch as it soars through the air into the hoop with a swoosh. The buzzer sounds and the crowd cheersyouve won the game!

You might think that nailing a three-pointer is just luck. There are many forces at work, however, that determine if youve made a game-winning shot or the final out.

If youve ever thrown a ball, launched a model rocket, or even played video games, youve explored the amazing world of ballistics . Ballistics is the study of projectiles and of projectile motion or how objects such as bullets and baseballs move. The study of projectile science can involve something as simple as tossing a soda can into a recycling bin from across the room or as complicated as sending a rocket into outer space. If it can be launched, thrown, fired, or flung, its a projectile!

ESSENTIAL QUESTION

Why did ancient humans develop methods of sending projectiles farther, faster? How did this ability make life better?

WORDS TO KNOW

force: a push or pull applied to an object.

ballistics: the science that studies the movement of objects that are shot through the air.

projectile: an object that is thrown or launched and does not move by its own power.

projectile motion: the path that a projectile takes as it travels.

projectile science: the study of how projectiles move.

buoyancy: the force that makes something able to float, either in the air or in the water.

prehistoric: having to do with ancient times, before written human records.
