Science of NHL Hockey

NBC Learn, NBC Sports, the National Hockey League, and the National Science Foundation have partnered in the release of the 10-Part Series, The Science of NHL Hockey. Science concepts will be featured throughout the series to help “students and teachers see how the principles of science enable players to perform actions such as quickly stopping on ice, passing the puck to a teammate, shooting a slap shot and making a great save.” The movements are captured on high-speed cameras and use frame-by-frame to show science concepts such as Newton’s Laws. Some of the videos in the series will begin Saturday, January 28^th, 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. They will also be available on NHL.com.
