Physical Education and Physics

This activity connects Physical Education with Physics by exploring how movement follows physical laws. Through running, jumping, throwing, and game-based tasks, students discover concepts such as motion, force, speed, acceleration, and friction in real-life sport situations. By experimenting with different movements, surfaces, and equipment, learners understand how physics influences performance, safety, and control while developing curiosity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

At the end of the activity, students and teachers experience how learning becomes more effective when Physical Education is meaningfully connected with other subjects and everyday life. Through games and collaborative tasks, students learn how friction affects movement, strategy, and performance, while developing movement skills, critical thinking, teamwork, and self-confidence. At the same time, teachers gain new interdisciplinary teaching approaches and discover good practices that make lessons more engaging, inclusive, and motivating for 21st-century learners.

This activity was held in Liceo Scientifico “Raffaele Lombardi Satriani”, Petilia Policastro, Italy, from 30th March to 4th April, 2025. During this period, various activities were organized to connect physical education with physics.
