Physics Exploration: Designing Skiis/Snowboards

Our Scientists are hard at work exploring how skis and snowboards work! Using just tin foil, popsicle sticks, cardboard, and tape, our class is working towards creating a model athlete that will be able to ski or snowboard down an inclined hill. We are looking for speed and stability (our models should slide down on their feet, not their faces!).

Watch the video below to learn more about a very interesting type of skiing known as ‘Ski ballet’!
