Mankato, Minnesota : Capstone Press, 2010. 48p. Sports Illustrated KIDS: How it works Sports Illustrated KIDS: The science of sports Describes the science behind the sport of hockey, including skating, shooting, goaltending, and the rink. It's fun to watch a high-flying slam dunk, a perfect spiral thrown for a touchdown, and a batter fooled by a hard-breaking curveball. But how are athletes able to perform these moves? From the laws of physics on a skateboard to the effects of weather on a ball, the Science of Sports books explain how it all works. It can be exciting-and painful-to watch a hockey player get checked into the boards. But did you know that the energy created in the collision could power a lightbulb for a minute and a half? Explore the slap shots, glove saves, and speedy skating that goes into the sport of hockey. Accelerated Reader Grades 5-8 6.1 1 SD Quiz 135067 English non-fiction. 20100313.
