Basketball

Slam dunks, quick passes, and jump shots are all actions of scientific principles, and readers discover why as they explore the ways physics, biology, and other areas of science are applied in the game of basketball. As readers take in details from fact boxes, sidebars, and diagrams, they learn the combination of science, technology, engineering, and math on the basketball court. They'll also find fun photographs of some of the sport's biggest stars using science to score.
