In this activity, students work in groups, delving into a real-life sports melodrama—“Deflategate”. Using their knowledge of the behavior of gases, and data collected by an independent investigative team, students draw evidence-based conclusions to the question: “Could the underinflated footballs used by the New England Patriots have been caused by environmental conditions during the game?” As this engaging and thought-provoking activity unfolds, students employ many of the science practices outlined in the National Research Council’s A Framework for K–12 Science Education.
