NASA Hosts a Series of Events for the "Aerodynamics in Sports Technology" Project



Wednesday, September 9, 1998 9:00 am. - 10:00 am. Pacific Time

  • The top tennis experts from the US Tennis Association's Sport Science Committee will chat with you during the 1998 US Open. They'll be answering your questions on physics, the science of equipment, and biomechanics.

    "Aerodynamics in Sports Technology" is an exciting interactive project that focuses on sports to teach students science, as part of NASA's educational outreach mission on the World Wide Web.

    Through a series of live conferences and "chat" sessions over the Internet, students and teachers from kindergarten through twelfth grade can follow the project and actually participate by posing questions and sharing in the results. The activities and lesson plans teach students the same principles the research team is studying.

    Through the project students are learning that scientific principles apply to all areas of life, including sports, and that athletes and scientists can work together for mutual benefits!
