This site is a Sports Science resource where users read about National Hockey League players, coaches from the San Jose Sharks, and physicists and chemists. Included is information about ice, the qualities that make it a unique playing surface, why ice is slippery, mechanics of ice skating, hockey equipment, NHL goals, how players can shoot the puck over one hundred miles an hour, checking using physical force, and physical fitness. Links to other sites and mathematics formulas that show how much energy is expended in an open ice hit can also be found.

| Description | The Middle School Portal 2: Math and Science Pathways (MSP2) supports middle grades educators with high-quality, standards-based resources and promotes collaboration and knowledge-sharing among its users. Educators use MSP2 to increase content knowledge in science, mathematics, and appropriate pedagogy for youth ages 10 to 15. MSP2 employs social networking and digital tools to foster dynamic experiences that promote creation, modification, and sharing of resources, facilitate professional development, and support the integration of technology into practice. MSP2 is a project of the Ohio State University College of Education and Human Ecology, National Middle School Association, and Education Development Center, Inc., and is funded by the National Science Foundation. The partners integrate resources, tools, and services across projects, and support multiple methods of resource discovery to meet the needs of this audience. |

The Science of Hockey is the first in a series of "Sports Science"resources developed by the Exploratorium. This site takes you inside thegame: you'll hear from NHL players and coaches from the San Jose Sharks,as well as leading physicists and chemists. This site is divided into sevenmain sections which can be accessed individually, although we recommendyou start with "The Ice." The control bar below appears on thetop of each page. In addition, there is a bottom control panel which allowsyou to navigate through the site and return to this page. We hope you enjoythe Science of Hockey.         To learn about how the Science of Hockey was put together, read the credits. To see what others are saying about the Science of Hockey visit our awards page. The Science of Hockey was made possible with the assistance of the NHL's San Jose Sharks.  The Science of Hockey is a Science LearningNetwork resource.  © Exploratorium
