Basketball & the Science Connection
- Earth Science
- Fossils keep a record of the past
creatures so that people today can
know something about how
objects and events in the past.
Documentary of past players can
show the history and
accomplishments of that player.
Leaving records like banners of the
past champions is a good way of
leaving a record of something for
people later on to know about
- 8.B.1.Leaving a Record: Explain how sedimentary a
rock is formed (embedding plant and animal remains
and leaving a record of the sequence in which plants
and animals disappeared)

- Biology
- 8.D.2. Regular and
Predictable Motion: Identify
and explain celestial
phenomena using the
regular and predictable
motion of objects in the
solar system
- Dribbling is a regular
motion in basketball.
Just like in the solar
system the planets
revolving around the sun
is a regular motion in the
solar system.

- The football is made up of
leather to help basketball
players keep a good grip. when
going up for a dunk, dribbling,
or shooting
- 8.D.2. Cite
evidence of give
examples of
chemical
properties of
substances

- Physics
- Energy Transformation:
- 8.A.4. Recognize and explain that energy can
neither be created or destroyed; rather
it changes form or is transferred
through the action of forces
- A basketball player transfer
energy from his arm to the ball.
as the basketball player shoots
he pushes energy from his arms
to the ball.

- A basketball players muscles are generating
body heat. This is transforming heat to sweat.
- 8.A.4. Energy Transformation:
Recognize and explain that
energy can neither be created or
destroyed; rather it changes form
or is transferred through the
action of forces.
- Environmental Issues
- Building basketball courts and arenas are environmental issue
because when they build basketball courts they are tearing up
land. also when building arenas they are tearing up land
- 8.B.1.Recognize and explain
how human activities can
accelerate or magnify many
naturally occurring changes.
