Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found this
week, thanks to my PLN. As a teacher, I feel we have to keep up to date
concerning research in our field and current issues in the education system. I hope
some of these inspire you, inform you, and even have you asking questions.
Thank you for coming by and visiting!

The Science Behind the Bike –
YouTube videos; “The Science Behind the Bike is a series of
films that investigate how science and technology have transformed the sport of
cycling. We talk to Olympic gold-medallists Chris Boardman and Rebecca Romero,
and Paralympian gold-medallist Sarah Storey, take a trip to a wind tunnel,
consult with Team GB physiologists and hear from design experts and cycling
legends such as Graeme Obree and Francesco Moser. In this series you will find
out about the legendary Hour Record (the record for the longest distance cycled
in one hour), learn about technology, discover the forces that have to be
overcome to ride fast and understand how the body deals physiologically when
riding at Olympic level.”
