• Set up an investigation into air pressure on a basketball and present findings.
• Set up an investigation into friction of wicket keeper’s gloves and present findings.

Activities

1. Identify the forces that can impact on a sports game.
2. Suggest how friction, air resistance and gravity can be exploited in sports.
3. Try and control the level of a force exerted on a ball in order to successfully score a goal.
