  1. Solar System Series What if the World Series took place not just on Earth?

  2. Resource Overviews Curveball HitModeler Students are also able to study Aerodynamic Forces and Newton’s Laws As the Batter, students are able to see what effect location, weather conditions and speed have on the flight of a hit baseball Students can analyze (graphically) these changes and there effect. • Students are able to study Aerodynamic Forces (Lift) using a baseball. (Newton’s Laws) • Student acts as a Big League Picture and tries to throw strikes. • Stadium Locations and other factors can be adjusted and changed to study the effects on Lift • Different weather parameters can also be set

  3. Highlights & Limitations CurveBall HitModeler Location changes and Weather Condition changes Speed of pitch and Angel (fastball and curves) Ability to increase or decrease Grid view Ability to plot more than one flight of the ball Ease of use by students No “Stadium view” No swing of the bat • Ability to change locations (Earth to Mars) • Adjustments to Weather Conditions • Two views of the baseball (overhead flight and wind tunnel) • Use of Probe for testing pressure changes • No actual Picture or batter view of the flight (MLB) • More Planetary Locations • Trouble with probe usage

  4. Lesson: Students are given the option to be a Solar System Series Pitcher or Batter. Using NASA ‘s CurveBall or HitModeler Applets. Objective: Compare your Earth Statistics with your Mars Statistics Students act as Pitcher Students act as Batters
