Basketball: Science on the Court (18)
Science isn’t just used in a laboratory or a classroom—it’s necessary on the basketball court, too! Slam dunks, quick passes, and jump shots are only possible because of science, and readers discover why as they explore the ways physics, biology, and other areas of science are applied in the game of basketball. As readers take in details from fact boxes, sidebars, and diagrams, they see the importance of science, technology, engineering, and math—also known as STEM—on the basketball court. They also find fun photographs of some of the sport’s biggest stars using science to score.
