In our second project in 9th grade STEM. We were told to create a video helping our athletics program at San Marin. Our group chose the correct way to hold and throw a football.
Our group had lots of fun making our video. First we show basic fundamentals about throwing a football. We tried to make it very clear and easy to understand. after that we show ways that you should not be throwing it, and if you were throwing badly how to fix it. Then we showed the physics standpoint of the game. We included momentum, force, and some angles in the physics part. Towards the end of our video we decided to spice it up a little, and we added some bloopers. We think the bloopers gave the video a little bit of some fun and showed that it was fun to make the video.
I believe that our video is a lot more fun to watch than others. We did not bore you with a whole bunch of equations all the time. I believe that its a nice balance between fun and learning. This video might be more likable by other children/students. It is also still fun for the people who do understand the equations.
In our video, we had a couple different equations that we used to do calculations. We used the pythagorean theorem the. We found that the horizontal velocity of the football was 14.24m/s, and the vertical velocity of the football was 11.37m/s. After putting these two numbers into the the first equation, we found that the total velocity of the ball was 18.22m/s.
I had a lot of fun making this video and i think all of my partners did too. WE had some troubles coming up with ideas and also working together as a team. I think our group had all the right people for there own unique job. You might also wonder why my name was Beau Manziel in the video and it was because he is one of my favorite quarterbacks and everyone liked the name. I think our project went very well and I hope that you liked our video.
