7 HOCKEY Science Use these fun facts to answer the questions below.

Over the course of a game, players can 5 lbs. lose between five and eight pounds of body weight. This weight is mostly water, which is why a player drinks liquids on the bench to replenish his/her body.

32 The temperature of the ice during a game is 24° Fahrenheit (F) or -5° Celsius (C). Water has a freezing point of 32° F; 0° C.

Goalie masks are made out of Kevlar, the same material used in bulletproof vests for police officers.

New materials for hockey sticks include aluminum and carbon-graphite, which generally weigh less than wooden sticks. A player’s slap shot can reach speeds of up to 103 mph!

1. What temperature is the ice during a hockey game? ______

2. How much weight can a player lose over the course of a game? What type of weight is it? ______3. Up to what speed can a puck travel from a player’s shot? ______

4. Goalie masks are made of what material? ______8 SCIENCE FRICTION

Friction is a force objects have which makes them resist motion or movement across or against another. Friction is what happens when two things rub against each other; like two hands rubbing together or air slowing down a car.

There are two main types of friction: static friction and sliding friction. Static friction is a friction force that opposes any attempt to move a stationary object along a surface. An example would be someone trying to push a heavy bookshelf. Sliding friction is friction where a force opposes the sliding motion of two surfaces rubbing together. Riding a bike on the sidewalk would be an example of sliding friction.

Based on the information you just learned about friction, determine which type of friction is being used below.

32

______

Players require a lot of energy to skate, shoot the puck, and win a hockey game. Energy is the capacity to do work.

There are two types of energy: kinetic and potential. Kinetic energy is created due to motion. An example would be a speeding train. Potential energy is stored energy. An example would be a train waiting to leave the station while passengers board.

______Label each picture to the right with which type of energy is being used. ______
