Hmmm ... so maybe you're thinking - what does the Super Bowl have to do with science? A lot, actually.
The first thing that comes to my mind is the actual physics behind throwing the ball and running/tacking - Newton's Laws of Motion, understanding force, momentum, gravity, air resistance ...
I wish I could explain everything as well as Dr. Tim Gay from University of Nebraska! He has three seasons of minute lesson clips at the following link. Check them out!
In what other ways can you connect science to football?
How could the Giants win and who wanted them to win. If you ask me, the better team did not win that game. I mean, Eli Manning, he is terrible. All im sayin is next year the pats will win.
