Dodge ball / Activity Analysis

Science

• The student learned about the concept of force and motion while throwing and dodging the ball in the game.
• They gained an understanding of the principles of energy transfer when the ball was thrown and when they dodged to avoid being hit.
• By observing the trajectory of the ball and planning their movements to dodge it, the student applied concepts of physics related to angles and motion.

For continued development related to the activity of dodgeball, consider incorporating elements of biomechanics into the game. Encourage students to explore how body movements and positioning can optimize their performance in dodging and throwing in the game. Additionally, integrating discussions on the impact of physical activity on the body's physiological processes could enhance the learning experience while playing dodgeball.
