Every year, I like to customize my lessons to apply to the interests of our given student body. Through classroom discussions, Iâve found that we have a lot of student athletes in our physics courses this year at Everett High School. As weâve been learning about forces and how objects interact with one another, questions have arised about specific events that occur in the sports the students play. For example, one student asked, âCould I find a way to measure which type of basketball shoe is best for a crossover dribble?â Another student asked, âWhy does a curveball curve in baseball?â Some football players asked, âCan I measure how much force I use to tackle someone?â These are all project based inquiries that could not only be measured, but they could be a very engaging way to incorporate algebra, scale, quantity, and physics into our lessons. In a physics course, we need to use derived units to make some of these calculations.
