Physics of Sailing

Welcome to the Physics of Sailing Project, a six-week high school Physics project designed in a project-based learning (PBL) format. The project focuses on the application of Newton’s Laws in sailboat design.  Over a six-week period, this project mixes team-based student inquiry, direct instruction, and teacher- or student-directed activities.SponsorCurriki is grateful for the tremendous support of our sponsor, Oracle.
