HOMESCHOOL PROGRAMS - ROSWELL

SCIENCE OF SKATEBOARDING

Thursdays, November 13 -December 11 (no class Nov 27; 4 weeks)

9:30am - 10:45am

Ages 6-12​

Students roll into the physics of skateboarding each week, exploring how science shapes every trick, turn, and ride. From board design and balance to the forces of friction, gravity, and energy, students experiment with real skate science—testing how shapes, wheels, and ramps affect speed, control, and performance. Through hands-on investigations, they’ll uncover how engineers and athletes use physics to master stunts and design safer, faster boards. All lab materials are included in the registration fee.

Instructor: Kacey Schwan, BSc
