Sports Science in Physical Education

Mrs M Paterson, HOD Physical Education and Health —

Students in 10Ch have started the term with an introduction to Sports Science in Physical Education. This week they took a practical approach to learning about Newton's Laws of Motion. This involved experimenting with applying different forces to moving objects (including themselves) and identifying what causes a ball to bounce back through the game of Gutter Ball. Students are working towards understanding how biomechanics applies to physical activities and everyday movements.
