What do football players, scientists and ballet dancers have in common? You’ll find out as we explore how science has helped us understand sports and performance. Discover how the body—powered by food, balance, and physics—becomes a high-powered playing machine. Learn about the “sweet spot” in kicks, why certain balls bounce higher, and how electrolytes fuel endurance. Compare football to other sports to see how gravity, forces, and energy transfer shape the game. From lung capacity to why headers strain the brain, this is a deep dive into the science of football! For grades K-5.


Join CLP as we celebrate Pittsburgh hosting the NFL draft.
