S.T.E.M. Education: The first hour the students participate in one of our seven S.T.E.M. lessons which demonstrate the relationship between S.T.E.M. and roller skating. Students will learn S.T.E.M. concepts in an interactive and entertaining way, enhancing learning. The S.T.E.M. portion of this program is instructed by a trained, experienced educator who is very knowledgeable on S.T.E.M.’s relationship to roller skating. Some of the topics covered in the S.T.E.M. lessons are motion, force, friction, sound waves, Doppler Effect, light waves, design and geometry.
Lunch: The students will be served lunch from our cafe after the S.T.E.M. lesson
Roller Skating for Physical Education: Students will skate for approximately two hours. This is an entertaining, and fun way to experience the S.T.E.M. concepts that they just learned. This skating event allows two hours of exercise and a student can burn up to 1,000 calories in just one field trip. For the beginner skaters, we provide them with skatemates. These are trainers that help them balance and skate, so they have a positive experience during their field trip.
All lesson plans are copyrighted and meet Next Generation Science Standards.
Every visit follows the same simple track — a real lesson, a real break, and a real chance to feel the physics.
A certified instructor leads a hands-on physics lesson tied to your grade’s standards — motion, friction, energy, or sound.
Students refuel in a dedicated group space. Bring lunch from school or add on-site catering.
Kids test the physics they just learned — balance, speed, and friction — on the rink floor. Skates included.
Students will learn about the parts of a roller skate/inline skate and how each part functions to make the skate. They will discuss how surfaces in the rink are made of different materials and how that affects the skate in motion. Students will have a chance to showcase their creativity and design a new feature for a skate.
Students will get an introduction into the physics of roller skating by discussing the four parameters of motion. Students will answer an open-ended question by inventing their own skate design.
Students will learn how to count using the beats of the music played in a roller rink and will learn how the type of music affects the speed of the skates. Fourth and fifth graders will also learn how to control the speed of skaters using the beat of the music.
Students will explore how sound waves look and how they travel through different mediums. They will discuss sounds that relate to the roller skating rink including the differentiation in speaker pitch and tones.
Students will learn about the speed of light and how light travels. Students will learn the exciting effects of light with the use of reflection and refraction.
Students will learn about basic human biology and how the body works from the inside out. Students will focus on heart related anatomy, nutrition, and exercise. Students will have fun exploring through heart healthy activities, such as finding and calculating an average heart rate. Students will also learn about the importance of making heart healthy food choices by identifying and understanding nutritional labels and facts.
Students will learn how math concepts can be found all over the skating rink. Students will measure and calculate the speed of a skater, use mean, median, and mode to talk about skate sizes, and study all of the shapes that can be found in a skating rink.
Students will learn about Newton’s three laws, how they relate to real world experiences and roller skating. They will learn how force and mass play a large role in motion and construct a balloon rocket
Students will learn how STEM plays a very large part in sports, specifically roller and ice hockey. They will learn how three different kinds of motion can make a difference in the outcome of the game. They will also learn how roller skates and inline skates used in roller and ice hockey work.
Students will learn about reaction time, what it has to do with arcade games and how to Improve it. Students will also learn about probability through discussion of arcade games in our facility
