The Evolution of Science and Sports- Unit 9
1. Share some information about the science behind your sport or recreation of choice.
My recreation of choice is camping. I have been camping my whole life. Even when my mom was pregnant with me. As I became older I wanted to start a tradition with my children by going camping every year. Over the years, we try to camp at different camp sites to enhance our experiences. The science behind camping includes many different science experiments, such as building camp fires, hiking nature trails, finding your way, the wood you use to burn, how to use the suns energy to heat your own water and even cooking marshmallows. Hiking nature trails provides you with many opportunities to explore science. “With a bit of advanced

Camping is known to improve the quality of life, create lasting memories, and offer peace, love, and a fun adventure.
2. How can you categorize the scientific information that you learned about your sport/recreation? Does it involve physics, chemistry, and/or biology, for example?
You can categorize camping as biology, physics, and chemistry. When you go camping and experience the outdoors, you learn about water, fire, conservation, biomes, ecosystems, and the food web and food chains. While camping, you use biology because being exposed to only natural light, can synch your circadian clock. Camping can reset your bodies clock. When we decrease the use of electrical lighting, and experience natural light, our bodies will get a better quality of sleep and our natural circadian rhythms will no longer stray from us as they do using electrical lighting. Camping uses physics when you make a campfire, especially if your
