Looking at the processes and actions
embedded within various team and individual sports is a great way to get
exposed to concepts and ideas from physics, engineering, and any other
number of basic and applied sciences. The Exploratorium Museum in San
Francisco has developed this remarkable site that brings together
interactive exhibits, activities, and video clips on the world of sport
science. The materials here are organized primarily by sport, and
visitors can check out "Skateboard Science", "Science of Surfing", and
"Science of Cycling". After trying out a few of the activities in these
sections, visitors should also make use of the "Articles" section. Here
they will find pieces on why balls bounce (or why they fail to bounce)
and the fitness challenge presented by Mt. Parinacota in South America.

The Topics section of the Australian Sports Commission's Sport Information site
attempts to bring together a number of different information sources on the
Internet on a wide range of sports-related
topics. Each topic may have slightly different types of information, but
most will have a short introduction, weblinks, full-text sites and
organisations relevant to the topic.
