Baseball

Come join the fun of America’s favorite pastime—baseball! Step up to the plate and learn more than you can imagine about this much-loved sport.

Learn the techniques of good batting by visiting Internet sites that teach the basics and then watch videos that demonstrate them. Understand forces and momentum by studying why a curve ball curves, and learn about reflexes and reaction time, and how they help us in sports. And did you know that finding the “sweet spot” of a bat is based on physics? We’ll also get to know the legends of baseball and see how the game has changed over the years. Enjoy this fascinating study of the sport everyone loves while learning geography, history, science, math, and more.
