lacrosse
Science is in all sports but i'm going to talk most about lacrosse. In the beginning of the summer I played in a lacrosse tournament "Beach Lax" The tournament was at Ocean City,Md. The science behind lacrosse is life science. Life Science is also called Biology. Biology deals with living organisms and life processes. Life Processes are basic essential activities performed by an organism to live, such as nutrition, respiration, circulation, getting rid of waste, and reproduction. Nutrition is used in lacrosse because if you don't eat anything before playing then you won't have enough energy to last the whole game. Respiration is used by giving us oxygen to run or sprint and last the game. Circulation is used because the blood flows and carries nutrients and oxygen. When you sweat you are getting rid of waste. A biologist is a scientist who studies life specifically organisms and their relationship to their environment. I never knew that lacrosse had so much science!

Science is in everything including kayaking. One thing in science related to kayaking is buoyancy. Buoyancy-the ability or tendency to float in water or air or some other fluid. Buoyancy is what makes the kayak float. There is biology in it because you have to use your muscles for the strokes and your brain to remember those strokes. You also have to swim if you fall of so that is biology because you have to move your muscles. That is most of the science involved with kayaking.

kinetic engery roller coatsers
this summer, i went to hershey park. me and my family rode a ton of roller coasters which i had no idea had to do with science. there is potentail and kinetic enegry in a roller coater. this is the kinetic engery behind it. Kinetic energy is energy that a body possesses

by virtue of being in motion. Gravitational

potential energy is greatest at the highest point

of a roller coaster and least at the lowest point

but, Kinetic energy is energy an object has because

of its motion. When the coaster ascends one of the

smaller hills that follows the larger lift hill, its

kinetic energy changes back to potential energy.

This is all a roller coaster is — a machine that uses

gravity and inertia to send a cart along a turning track. r

Baltimore Aquarium

This Summer I went to the Baltimore Aquarium with my friend. I found it very interesting because it had to do alot with Oceanogrophy which is a topic which i am interested in. Oceanogrophy is the study of the animals and plants in the sea. When I was at the Aquarium I saw so many things in the tanks that were so cool because you saw so many things that were apart of Oceanogrophy. You could see how the fish interacted with other fish, how they travled, and even where the live. Only around 5% of the ocean has been explored so it was so amazing to see all the fish and other sea animals I did not even knew existed!]]> 2018-09-11 17:56:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/y1avonenbmdi/wish/280017139 Campbell Cellio https://padlet.com/jmessenger/y1avonenbmdi/wish/280017170 Where is the Science?
Waves in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina
This summer, I went to Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. We went down to the beach alot, where we saw big and little waves. Waves have a lot to do with science. Waves bring in lots of good stuff, like fish and shells, but bad stuff to, such as plastic water bottles. Ocean waves are caused by wind moving across the surface of the water. The friction between the air molecules and and the water molecules causes energy to be transferred from the wind to the water. In science, a wave is defined as a transfer of energy. Ocean waves are called mechanical waves because they travel through a medium. In this case, the medium is the water. The water doesn’t actually travel with the wave, but instead it only moves up and down. It’s the energy that travels with the wave. Another form of a wave is a longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves are waves where the disturbance moves in the same direction as the wave. This is how waves include science! ]]> 2018-09-11 17:56:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/y1avonenbmdi/wish/280017170 Gracie Milanoski Where is the Science Boogie Boarding https://padlet.com/jmessenger/y1avonenbmdi/wish/280017179 During the summer I went to the Outer Banks. When I went boogie boarding for the first time a huge wave crashed onto me and I nearly died. How did that wave become so big? Physics is the study of matter , energy and the interaction between them. I think the wave was that big because the moon’s gravity controls the waves so the moon’s gravity was pushing the waves very hard to make that huge wave. When I was boogie boarding I think I crashed was because I wasn't pulling the boogie board far enough. ]]> 2018-09-11 17:56:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/y1avonenbmdi/wish/280017179 April Blandeburgo https://padlet.com/jmessenger/y1avonenbmdi/wish/280017199 Where is the Science
Rainy Summer

This summer it rained a lot. On the news the meteorologists talk about weather. All this rain and other weather is in the Meteorology category in the branch of Applied Science. Meteorology is watching the processes and phenomena of the atmosphere. The weather is important to everyday life. It on a lot of TV channels telling weather of that day and days coming up. This can help you plan your day if you know the weather is up to date and out on the news. Meteorology also covers the climate in a certain region. Applied Science is the application of existing scientific knowledge to practical application like technology or inventions. More rainfall could be caused by several very dry days. After so many days of dryness it causes so many days of rainfall in intense bursts. So much rainfall can cause flooding and do major damage on the road. Cars can be seriously damaged and need of repair. The meteorologist keeps track of all this rain and tells us days when there could be a sunny day. Car damages and flooding accidents are always reported on the news. Always watch the news and stay safe! ]]> 2018-09-11 17:56:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/y1avonenbmdi/wish/280017199 Josh Saccenti https://padlet.com/jmessenger/y1avonenbmdi/wish/280017200 Where is the Science?

Flying on a plane

Flying a plane takes a thrust to move at a fast speed to launch. From the takeoff there is a long runway to maintain speed to have the take off. A plane's engines are designed to move it forward at high speed. That makes the air flow rapidly over the wings, which throw the air down toward the ground, generating an upward force called lift that overcomes the plane's weight and holds it in the sky.
When air moves faster, the pressure of the air decreases. So the pressure on the top of the wing is less than the pressure on the bottom of the wing. The difference in pressure creates a force on the wing that lifts the wing up into the air.

Lacrosse

Their is Science everywhere you go. Theirs also Science in everything you do including sports. This summer I did lacrosse tryouts. Lacrosse has some Science and the Science behind it is Physics . Lacrosse is focused on the application of Newton’s second law for determining the force placed on a lacrosse ball . If a lacrosse player shoots a ball using a stick into a goal , the force can be calculated. Lacrosse is the fastest game on two feet and you use a stick to move the ball in the air. Science that deals with the structure of matter of the lacrosse stick. This is some of the Science in the sport Lacrosse and I had fun learning about it.

Oceanography
Oceanography- is the study of the ocean and the things in it. It is also the physical and biological phenomena in the sea. Oceanography is also known as marine science. Fun fact the country with the largest coastline is Canada. Waves can be cause by many things. Some can be caused by Earthquakes, wind, and most of the time they are caused by the moons gravitational pull. The largest fish in the ocean is the whale shark. It is the size of 2 school buses. On my trip we had caught a shark. We realized how close the animals in the ocean are to us. It was an example of what marine life is in the Atlantic ocean. But only 5 percent of the ocean has been explored. That means that 95 percent of the ocean has yet to be discovered.

Going to the Pool

One of the things I did over the summer was going to the pool. When I went off the diving board, I noticed that my ears started to hurt. This is called human biology. Human biology is an interdisciplinary area of study that examines humans through the influences and interplay of many diverse fields such as genetics, evolution, physiology, anatomy, epidemiology, anthropology, ecology, nutrition, population genetics and horticultural influences. I learned that under normal circumstances, as your middle ear adjusts to the ambient pressure of the pool, you should have the feeling of your ears popping. This popping feeling occurs as air moves from the upper part of your throat and nose through your Eustachian tube into your middle ear. Your ears pop when you dive deep underwater because the water pressure at greater depths, is higher than the pressure at the surface. The eardrum bends inwards due to the pressure difference between the inner ear and the surrounding water. Most divers are taught to equalize by pinching their nose and blowing gently. Called the Vassal Maneuver, it essentially forces the tubes in your ears to open with air pressure.

Rock Climbing

This summer i went on a week long trip to camp Rodney and one of the activities i did there was rock climbing. Gravity determines how easy it is to climb a rock. if you are climbing in an area were there isn't a lot of gravity it will be easier to climb and vice-versa. It also causes the friction between you and the rock witch allows you to pull yourself up. If there was no gravity it would be impossible to climb a rock because you would just float to the top. you would also not be able to come down from the rock. gravity hold you back depending on your weight witch makes you have to use more force to pull yourself up. Also because of gravity there is a danger of falling off the rock because the gravity is trying to pull you down. There are many ways gravity interacts with climbing and these are just a few of them that I found.]]> 2018-09-11 17:56:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/y1avonenbmdi/wish/280017246 Ethan Girard https://padlet.com/jmessenger/y1avonenbmdi/wish/280017259 Where is the Science
Science of Swimming
This summer I was swimming in my swimming pool with my family and I was wondering did swimming relate to science at all. When I did some research it told me that swimming was related to science. Here are some facts like When Newton's laws come into play. The first law inertia is when you are slowed down by pulling the water is because the water is pulling you back. The second law is the connection between force and acceleration. If you push or pull something it moves faster the bigger the force you use. The bigger acceleration the longer you apply the force that gives you momentum. The third law is prephaps the most important law. When you apply force to an object it applies it provides the same force back to you. This law is called action and reaction.If you kick backwards against the wall of a swimming pool. When you move your arms you have to pull water back with your hands..]]> 2018-09-11 17:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/y1avonenbmdi/wish/280017259 Collin Deaner https://padlet.com/jmessenger/y1avonenbmdi/wish/280017273 Where is the Science?
The Ocean

This summer I went to the beach for twelve days. We went to the ocean every other day and we had a lot of fun especial me because I got to use my new beater board. The science behind waves is potential energy. Potential energy means an object in rest building up energy and has the potential to move. The potential energy is the waves that are moving closer to the shore and are building up energy before it breaks. This paragraph shows the science behind the ocean.

Shell Walk on The Beach
During summer vacation, I went on a shell walk where I found very beautiful shells on the beach. Here are some fun facts I found during my research about seashells. Did you know that most shells open on the right side, and did you also know that seashells were once used as currency? The animal that lives inside a conch shell is called a queen conch, and sand dollars are not shells, they are a living animal. There are over 50,000 types of mollusk shells, mollusk shells come from slugs, snails, clams, oysters, limpets, hermit crabs, and mussels. Did you know that the ice cream cone looking shells are actually called gastropods? Also, some seashells have holes in them. The holes were made by predators who drilled or chipped their way through the shell to get at the animal inside. But, let's talk about exactly what these things are made of. Did you know that seashells are mostly made of calcium? I love going on shell walks with my family, and friends, so you should totally try it as well, it is so fun. We do this every year when we go to the beach during summer vacation, and I love it]]> 2018-09-11 17:56:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/y1avonenbmdi/wish/280017346 Lily Goedeke https://padlet.com/jmessenger/y1avonenbmdi/wish/280017423 where is the science?
sunscreen and how it protects you from sunburn.
When I was at the beach this summer, every time I came out of the water, I had to reapply sunscreen. even though I got Incredibly sunburned, I wanted to learn how sunscreen worked. I learned that inorganic chemicals in sunscreen reflects UV rays that can cause sunburn and even skin cancer! after learning that I'm reapplying EVERY time I get out of the ocean. There are also organic chemicals in sunscreen that do the opposite, they absorb some UV rays, brake them up, and release the heat. Even if you don't go into the ocean the sunscreen will stop working in a certain amount of time so you should reapply every two hours or so, its based on the SPF or sun protection factor of the sunscreen. If the SPF of your sunscreen is like 20 and you start to burn without sunscreen in like 20 minuets, then you will start to burn with the sunscreen in about 400 minuets, even so you should still reapply in about 2 hours, but if you do go into the water, I recommend reapplying when you get out because sunscreen washes off.

Softball
As Newton said, "An object in motion will stay in motion," so a softball is a great example for that. Softball involves Biology, muscle science, mechanical science, and physics. Biology is a big part of softball because my brain is sending a message down to my fingers to move them together and put all my power in my swing, when I swing the bat. Muscle science goes along with that and mechanical science is also involved because I have to know the mechanics of the game and all the different forces. Physics is another big part of softball because there is kinetic and potential energy, forces, and gravity. When I pick up a ball and throw it I'm demonstrating Newton's first law of motion. That is because I'm changing the ball's motion with force. My friend Addison is on my softball team and she is a pitcher. Her arm forces the ball forward and gravity pulls the softball toward the Earth, the air pressure pushes the ball as it moves through the air and the ball's spin during a pitch creates a force lifting upward. That is an example of Newton's Second Law of motion. When the ball leaves her hands and it is airborne, the ball's force is under the initial force of her arm. When the ball hits the bat the force of the bat becomes the biggest force and dictates the ball's new motion, into the field. I am demonstrating Newton's third law of motion when the ball enters my glove and meets with the leather, it stops. When that happens my hand is exhibiting a force, which is equal and opposite to the motion of the ball. When the ball is hit in the air after the pitcher pitches it, it is converted into kinetic and waste thermal energy. In order tom have any of this energy I have to eat food to have energy to play. It is then converted into mechanical and waste thermal energy to play. When the ball is airborne, it is converted to waste energy. Therefore, softball is a big part of science.]]> 2018-09-11 17:57:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/y1avonenbmdi/wish/280017611 Sophia Pulia 2020spulia https://padlet.com/jmessenger/y1avonenbmdi/wish/280017691 Where is the Science?
Parasailing

This summer I went parasailing. Parasailing is Physical Science. Parasailing is also science because the air and the wind is what holds a parasail up in the air and not in the water. It is also Physics because the shape of the parasail had to have a lot of consideration put into it. The shape they chose was very important because it stops the parasail from swinging vigorously and because it reduces turbulence. What the parasail is made out of is also part of the physics because for it to work it has to be light weight and flexible fabric so it can create an air drag. An air drag is what keeps it up in the air.

The science of roller coasters.

Science is all around us. Food, life, animals and more. I found it interesting when I saw all of the levers and buttons on the roller coasters and wondered what the science behind it is. After doing some research I found out that “you aren't being propelled around the track by a motor or pulled by a hitch. The conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy is what drives the roller coaster, and all of the kinetic energy you need for the ride is present once the coaster descends the first hill.”

Next, I found out that when you go up a lift hill, the kinetic energy at the highest point has enough power to push it push it down hill. At Hershey Park the tallest roller coaster, Skyrush, reaches speeds around 75 mph.

Fun facts: Roller coaster loops are never circular, but shaped like upside down teardrops. Next, the first roller coaster traces back to russia. The tallest roller coaster was 225 feet tall. Lastly, when you go down a hill, all of your organs fall down individually, leaving you weightless.

In conclusion, the science of roller coasters are both very interesting, and educational in the eyes of a engineer.

The science in lacrosse -
Newton's First Law of motion applies to almost every action in lacrosse. It starts with the ball at rest on the ground. ... Once a player passes or shoots, the ball will continue in a straight path until it is acted upon by another players stick or the back of the goal.Newton's First Law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. It may be seen as a statement about inertia, that objects will remain in their state of motion unless a force acts to change the motion.

the waves at the beach Rehoboth beach

During the summer i went to Rehoboth Beach. The beach has a lot to do with science because of the ocean and the waves. Physical oceanography is the special area of oceanography that deals with currents and waves. Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind driven waves, or surface waves are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest. The gravitational pull of the sun and moon on the earth also causes waves. I love swimming in the waves.]]> 2018-09-11 17:57:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/y1avonenbmdi/wish/280017733 Collin Mackley https://padlet.com/jmessenger/y1avonenbmdi/wish/280017938 Where is the science
a football spiral
When a quarterback throws that perfect football spiral pass, there are tons of forces at work. As the football travels through the air, it always follows a curved, or parabolic, because the movement of the ball in the vertical direction is influenced by the force of gravity. If our quarterback picks up the ball and throws it, it will fly in the direction he threw it, at a specific speed based upon how much force he applies in his throw.

If you've ever tried and failed to throw a spiral , you know that it's hard to complete a pass over any significant distance without that spin. Which leads a lot of people to conclude that the spinning makes the ball travel farther. This isn't quite right, but it's a common idea so it's the basis of one of my favorite class discussion questions in introductory physics. I pose a problem where a spring-loaded launcher fires a ball into the air to some height, then ask students to imagine modifying the barrel to set the ball spinning. The question then is does the spinning ball go higher, lower, or the same height as the initial shot.

Boogie Boarding
This summer i went to the beach and i went boogie boarding. Most boards are curved at the front edge cause it makes you travel faster underneath the water. It generates an upward force called life that moves you slightly out of the water and because you are slightly out of the water there's less drag than in the shallow water and you go faster when you are riding your board in deeper water. While i was riding my board in the water i noticed that after i rid the wave the water would pull me back. This is because the ocean waves move the water round in circles while they are moving and it was like i was trapped in a continuous movement in the water. The energy of the waves also affects the water underneath the surface because that is what was pulling me in and out. This is part of Oceanography because waves and the ocean are related to Oceanography. Boogie boarding has more science in it than you may think. It is also a fun thing to do in the summer. When you are boogie boarding on windy days it makes the waves bigger and wider because the air molecules are putting friction against the ocean's surface. This makes boogie boarding even more fun cause of the big waves. Surfs up!

Playing Lacrosse
This Summer I played lacrosse for Fallston. In Lacrosse you experience Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy. Kinetic Energy is the study of energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in motion. Potential Energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors. You may experience Kinetic and Potential Energy when you release the ball towards you teammate or during your shot to the goal. The movement when you release the ball is very short and dynamic. Running is also a form of Kinetic Energy because your body is in motion and your brain is telling your legs what to do.

Playing Field Hockey

There is science everywhere we go even in sports.This summer I had field hockey tryouts for travel and I had no idea the sports had science in it it is called physics. Newton's first law of motion is inertia, inertia is behind all of it it is your swing, the ball, and in dribbling. The force is diffrent when you hit th ball because there is diffrent people that hit the bal at diffrent speeds. When a player is dribbling the ball she is putting all of her pressure on that on side. When someone comes up to her and tries to stop her the defender can make the ball stop and when the ball is stoped and in the middle of the 2 sticks it is haing so much force pushed into it that it will only move if someone brings their stick off of the ball. ]]> 2018-09-11 19:52:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/y1avonenbmdi/wish/280079366
