Glide, Spin, & Jump: The Science of Ice Skating: Volume 4: Data and Graphs for Science Lab: Jumps

By M. Schottenbauer

This book contains graphs showing the movement of a skater jumping on land and while skating across synthetic ice. Land-based exercises include preparatory exercises (jumping and turning), beginner jumps (stag, waltz, ballet, mazurka half axel), and more advanced single and double jumps (salchow, loop, toe loop, lutz, flip, axel). A series of graphs show half axels on synthetic ice for comparison. These data from ice skating can be used for lesson plans by teachers and parents. Bonus Material: Graphs from land-based experiments with different types of projectiles and rotating devices provide contrast and context for the science of ice skating. Additional graphs also contain data regarding the forces required to complete different styles of jumps on land. Plus, appendices contain color-coded diagrams of basic jumps.
