Galileo's Gravity
In this gravity learning exercise, students use a ping pong ball, golf ball, tissue, and more to test which falls faster a heavy or light object. Students also answer 5 questions.

Soccer Golf
Young scholars practice golf etiquette without the use of golf clubs, balls, etc.
Curated OER
Soccer Golf
Students practice soccer kicking skills. In this soccer skills lesson plan, students participate in a game as they use the inside of their foot to kick the ball toward numbered cones.
