Explore & Grow: Roller & Ice Skating

ENRICHING EDUCATIONAL FIELD TRIP RESOURCE

Skate into learning! Watch, sketch, and reflect on balance, motion, and friction with K–8 friendly prompts—press play and glide into STEM.

Explore & Grow: Roller & Ice Skating 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.
