Retired NFL players demonstrate physics
VINELAND - Mary Lyons, a science teacher at Creative Achievement Academy, presented a special lesson on the properties of physics through the science of the National Football League.
Two retired NFL players — Dwayne Hendricks, who played for the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Soul, and the academy's own Clifton Smith, who played for the Cleveland Browns and Washington Redskins — assisted with the interactive lesson.
By demonstrating moves they learned on the football field, Hendricks and Smith provided lessons on the Pythagorean Theorem, Center of Mass and Newton's Laws of Motion.
Academy students joined Hendricks and Smith for the physics/football demonstrations.
