Explore & Grow: Roller & Ice Skating | Braintree Academy Glide into STEM and the arts! This print-and-go page turns skating into a mini study of balance, motion, and friction—paired with curated video picks and extensions. Students watch short clips, notice how skaters use force and edges to turn and stop, sketch what they see, and reflect in quick, age-friendly prompts. Organized by grade bands (Little Explorers, Pathfinders, Navigators), it’s perfect for a rink visit, P.E. tie-in, or a classroom video day using Braintree-provided resources.
