Paper Football Physics: Engineering Safer Designs for the Field

Each group needs:

• 1 meter stick and/or measuring tape (both are good choices)
• 9-12 sheets of construction paper
• 1 stopwatch (the smaller the increments, the better; milliseconds preferred)
• Paper Football Physics Project Constraints (PDF) handout (one for each group)
• Paper Football Physics Worksheet (PDF)(one for each student)
• Paper Football Physics Post-Activity Assessment (PDF)(one for each student)
• (optional) engineering notebook
• (optional) pencils, colored pencils, markers (to decorate paper footballs)
