Soccer and Science

I use science after school in soccer.  Since I have soccer practice every day, I am using science after school in many different ways.  One way I use science is when I am running and my cleats are rubbing against the grass causing friction and heat, which can be classified as qualitative data.  Another way I use science is by running and sweating.  I use it by running because it is excerising my leg muscles and causing them to move faster and faster.  Sweating counts as science because when your body gets too hot, your body sweats to cool down and this is known as an important bodily function.  Thirdly, the force of two people crashing into each other because when I play defense and crash into another person to prevent them from scoring there is a force of both of us colliding.

I picked soccer because I do it everyday of the week and it seemed like it was full of science.  Soccer is a scientific activity to me because it is mixing sports with science which is more fun than regular science.  Science in school is a little different than science outside of school .  One reason is that I did not even realize I was doing science until I really thought about it compared to when you walk into biology class and know you are doing science.  Lastly, science outside of school is usually involved with moving or sports, which most people do not realize or think about too often as being science.
