Description
Students went to a new sports complex in Franklin, WI. They studied the physics of snow tubing and created a snow tubing booklet that the sports complex could use with visiting schools. These tubing booklets were intended to guide students through a variety of physics activities that would give them a better understanding of physics principles utilized while snow tubing.
Audience
Science students who are visiting the sports complex for snow tubing while studying physics principles.
Final Product
