I learned a lot about the science behind skateboarding. For example, in order to propel forward or advance, its requires momentum to get going but a few factors can affect motion. Friction is a force opposing your motion,so that slows you down a bit. Gravity pull you towards the center of the earth, towards the ground. Centripetal force allows skateboarding in a curvilinear motion.
Learning about the science behind skateboardong was really interesting. At first I thought thought skateboarding was just a "do it" sport but it is a lot more complicated than that. The skateboarder must understand the way the skate board and his body reacts to gravity, friction, his kinetic and potiential energy and the total outcome. One mistake can injure a skateboarder badly.
I liked learning about the physics behind skateboarding. It was fascinating to me because I always assumed there were some sort of physics behind skateboarding but never knew about them until now. I also liked how the physics of skateboarding could relate to other things in everyday life. For example, the "frontside 180" is a trick that uses the law of conservation of angular momentum to its advantage as skaters lift into the air at the top of a ramp, turn around, and come back down. This trick can be compared to the way a house cat twists its body around to land with its paws on the ground.

This comment is about fitness fun. I played the pick your lunch game and I learned more info on the food that we eat.
