Jason Zelaya Project Day 3

Soccer and Science Connection

1. Earth Science

   • Leaving a Record
     • 8.B.1. Leaving a Record: Explain how sedimentary rock is formed (embedding plant and animal remains and leaving a record of the sequence in which plants and animals disappeared)
       • soccer by there being records of teams that win or lose a game
       • In fossils they determine what animal it was and when it died it is compared to

2. Astronomy

   • Regular and Predictable Motion
     • 8.D.2. Regular and Predictable Motion: Identify and explain celestial phenomena using the regular and predictable motion of objects in the solar system
       • goalies can predict the path of the soccer ball and possibly block it
       • Just like in the solar system where the planets move and is predictable

3. Biology

   • 8.D.1. Change Over Time
     • Change Over Time: Recognize and describe that evolutionary change in species over time occurs as a result of genetic variation in organisms and environmental changes.
       • the rules of the game and soccer equipment have evolved and become stronger and more durable
       • How animals and people have evolved overtime

4. Chemistry

   • Heat and State of Matter
     • 8.C.1. Describe how the motion of atoms and molecules in solids, liquids, and gases changes as heat energy is increased or decreased.
       • soccer players are in the field they will start to become hotter and the heat energy is increased and when they are resting or on the bench their heat energy is decreased
       • How it is compared to energy being increased and decreased

5. Physics

   • 8.A.1.Motion
     • Develop an explanation of motion using the relationships among time, distance, velocity and acceleration.
       • related to how takes a certain amount of time for soccer players to get somewhere and it how much speed they are gaining
       • The relationship between speed velocity and time can be related

6. Thermodynamics

   • 8.B.1.Transfer of Heat
     • Describe and cite evidence that heat can be transferred by conduction, convection and radiation.
       • soccer because the sun can radiate UV rays to the players playing a game in the daylight
       • The transfer of heat to objects and plants and animals relates

7. Environmental Issues

   • Environmental Impact
     • 8.B.1. Recognize and explain how human activities can accelerate or magnify many naturally occurring changes.
       • the stadiums built for soccer can destroy or change the environment by changing how the land is in a certain area (where the stadium was built).
       • The speed of the natural changes done in nature can be like
