Discover the Science of Soccer with The Franklin Institute

Delve into the fascinating world of soccer through a scientific lens, thanks to a special initiative put together by The Franklin Institute, presented by Bentley, and in collaboration with the Free Library of Philadelphia. This unique program offers a chance for participants to step into the shoes of “soccer scientists” and uncover the physics behind the beautiful game.

Participants will explore how varying the force and direction impacts a soccer ball’s movement. With simple tools mimicking a kick, the experiment will cover aspects like speed, distance, control, and precision, all vital for soccer players on the field.
