Physics play a big part in skateboarding. Science Questers hop on their boards and talk to a physicist about how force, energy and gravity are in motion while skateboarding. Kai turns his skateboard into a rocket with the ‘Cola Geyser’ - and Isa meets with pro skater Rose Archie to get some skateboarding tips.

COYOTE'S CRAZY SMART SCIENCE SHOW (Coyote Science) is a visually stunning, award-winning adventures-in-science series designed for elementary students.

Skateboarding is almost like surfing on the landjust ask our Hawaiian relatives, the inventors of surfing! It’s fun and keeps you active. But did you know that physics play a big part in skateboarding? Science Questers hop on their boards and head to the skatepark with fellow Indigenous Skateboarders to find out why. Physicist Percy Paul explains how force, energy and gravity are in motion while skateboarding. Hummerton the Hummingbird shows off how he uses gravity and motion to go faster than any human, and Anostin and Quinn ask, “What's an Ollie?” Professional Skateboarder Rose Archie tells you what you need to skateboard safely while Kai turns his skateboard into a rocket with the ‘Cola Geyser’. Commander John Herrington has walked in space not once, not twice, but three times! He explains what spacewalking is, and the training that astronauts undergo to learn how to maneuver in space.
