How does friction, balance, physics, rotation, aerodynamics aerodynamics, study of gases in motion. As the principal application of aerodynamics is the design of aircraft, air is the gas with which the science is most concerned. , reaction and reflection play a role in popular sports. The Sports Challenge illustrates scientific principles crucial to succeeding at sports, whether it's basketball, tennis, auto racing or baseball. When you swing a racket, you're practicing angles of reflection. When climbing a rock wall, it's easier to hold on to a piece of the wall that has a rough surface. That's friction. And it's all kinesthetic learning, that is, learning by moving your body.
