Physics in Sport: Boccia
In this activity students roll rice filled balls (to mimic boccia balls) down a slope and measure the distance that they roll after the end of the slope. The ball is released from different heights up the slope and a graph of stopping distance is plotted. Students must then compete to roll their balls to a target at a set distance from the end of the slope. Curriculum links include energy changes.
