"Science of the Olympic Winter Games" revealed the science behind how athletes skate, ski, jump and curl their way to winter Olympic gold and "Science of NFL Football" illustrated how football players throw a spiraled pass, block an opponent and score a touchdown. National Science Foundation partnered with NBC Learn and NBC Sports Group to create and present both online series, which earned an Emmy from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
