Year 10 Sports Science Excursion – Cobblebank Campus

Last week, the Cobblebank Campus Year 10 Sports Science class visited the Eynesbury Golf Club Driving Range to complete the practical component of their Biomechanics Unit. 

Students have been exploring the biomechanical principles used to analyse and improve movement skills for participation and performance in sport. These principles include force, momentum, impulse, Newton’s Three Laws of Motion, and levers.

During the practical session, students investigated the maximum distance they could hit a golf ball using three different types of golf clubs at the driving range. They reflected on their results and applied their understanding of the biomechanical principle of levers to explain the differences in distance achieved with each club.

It was fantastic to see students actively involved and participating to the best of their ability throughout the session. Congratulations to the Year 10 Sports Science class on their excellent effort and engagement.
