STEM Sports provides turnkey curriculum for elementary and middle school-aged students that combines STEM education with a variety of sports.
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 will get the answers to the “why” questions that surround the game. The STEM Basketball supplemental curriculum will assist students’ growth and potential both on and off the court through eight lessons such as:
- 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 some of Sir Issac Newton’s Laws. By the way, he was only five feet, six inches!
- Teaching students how to calculate their own field goal percentage, just like the greatest players in the NBA
Critical Thinking + Collaboration + Creative Problem-solving = STEM Sports.
Great for classrooms, after-school programs and camps.
*All STEM Sports kits come with: A curriculum manual with modules for Grades 3-5 & 6-8 and the necessary sports and science equipment that are designed for long shelf-lives and repeated use.
