Highlights:
STEM Sports approached each module with a baseline that volley’s equally between engaged learning and physical activity. Students are served with several aspects of STEM, but none are over their heads. They lob lessons at them such as:
-
Measuring the force used in each tennis motion using Newton’s Second Law.
- Bonus: Billie Jean King’s Eye Coach Training System is included in our kit!
- Drawing and classifying lines and angles to understand the exact dimensions of the court better.
- Comparing values and expressions to fully understand scoring in the game and how it differs from any other sport through the popular theory of its correlation to an analog clock.
There’s no fault for giving students the advantage of using STEM Tennis to further their 21st-century skills and science literacy.
