Description
With the World Cup Soccer the biggest talking point of this year, how can we use it to popularise Physics? This show, developed for Sci-Bono Science Centre in Johannesburg, does just that. Investigating the design of the new "Jabulani" soccer ball, how Beckham manages to "bend it" and why peripheral vision is important for passing, it suggests exciting ways to present practical Physics. The Science of Soccer exhibits developed alongside the show will also be presented and evaluated. The presenter has been popularsising Physics with exciting shows for over 20 years and will share his experiences.
