This site from San Francisco's Exploratorium offers a fascinating look into the physics behind all those bizarre skateboard tricks. Learn why riders and boards stay together and about the forces that combine to make a successful trick. Along the way, there are links to other related topics.

tag(s): forces (46), motion (56), sports (88)

In the Classroom

Share this site with students who like to skateboard to extend their knowledge about the dynamics of how the tricks work (and learn to relate force and motion in real life). Ask these students to share what they learned about their favorite trick with their peers by creating an annotated, narrated image (including text boxes and related links) using a tool such as Google Drawings, reviewed here. Google Drawings allows you to annotate an image with links to videos, text, websites, and more. Not familiar with Google Drawings? Watch an archived OK2Ask session to learn how to use: OK2Ask Google Drawings, here. The subject matter should make the hard work fun as it is all about the physics of the skateboarder and his board!
