Summary of clip: The scene opens with the president of the Future MBAs, Bogey Lowenstein, hitting golf balls onto the football field. As he hits the balls, there is another person on the field catching them in a basket. The balls are leaving the ground at various angles and their trajectories are a good example of projectile motion.
Connection of flickclip to the concept: This is a good clip to introduce the concept of projectile motion.
Suggestions to teachers:

d. What does the angle of a golf club’s head have to do with distance traveled and angle of departure of the ball?
