Check out how science has helped us understand sports and performance.  Investigate everything from why your toes are important, the roles of chemistry in your blood to the capacity of your lungs.  And what's this?  Physics is part of baseball, football and even acrobatics! It's all about energy transfer, gravity and forces we explore in this full day of fun science.  Bring a sack lunch and bottle of water.
