|aBeing a great surfer requires more than skill and instinct. It's a sport that relies on science! Without buoyancy, surfers would sink. Without acceleration, they could not travel the length of a wave. Science also plays a role in how surfboards are designed. The history of surfing is a lesson of progress in science.
Dive in and discover the science behind surfing! Surfers use science to select the right surfboard and to understand the motion of waves. This high-interest book features a hands-on STEAM activity and uses real-world examples to teach the content.
