  1. Aluminum bats VS Wooden bats!

  2. Purpose • My purpose of this experiment is to see if aluminum baseball bats will hit further then wooden bats. I wanted to do this experiment because it sounded fun and it looked easy to do.

  3. Hypothesis • My hypothesis is that the aluminum bat will hit much further then the wooden bat. The reason I think this is because if wooden bats hit further pros would use aluminum so people wont get hurt so much.

  4. Interesting facts • #1On February 2, 1876, the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs is formed. • Baseball is mostly played in America. • The New York Yankees have won 26 world Series titles, that is the most amount of times won. • Baltimore Orioles shortstop Cal Ripken, Jr. didn't miss a game in 16 years • In the 1850s there were baseball bats all shapes and sizes. They soon found out that bats with rounded barrels seemed to work the best. A rule was made in 1859 that bats could be no larger than 2.5 inches in diameter.

  5. Materials • 1 Aluminum baseball bat • 1 Wooden baseball bat • Preferably 10-20 baseballs (Less is fine but more running to get the balls.) • Baseball tee. • Any color Marker • Measuring tape

  6. Experiment • Gather all materials. • Put A for aluminum on half of the balls. Then put W for wooden on the other half. You do this so you can see what bat hit them. • Find a good place to hit some baseballs. For example a baseball field, park, or any other open fields. Then set up the tee and get ready to hit. • Hit fifteen balls from each of the two bats. Record the distance each ball went in a chart. • Find the average of the distances of each set of balls from aluminum to wooden. • Compare the two averages to find the bat that will hit the ball farther. • The results may vary from the batter and the bat he is using. • You can also try different grass types like turf, thin, and thick grass. • Then you will conclude with the experiment.

  7. Control/variables • There is no control. • Independent variable: is the distance of how far the balls go. • Dependent variable: is what bat you use.

  8. Observations • How far you hit depends on the bat you use. • The thinner the grass that you hit on the farther it goes.

  9. Data

  10. Analysis of data • The experiment did test my hypothesis because I found out which hit further. I knew that it tested my hypothesis because it answered it and my purpose.

  11. Conclusion: • My hypothesis was correct that the aluminum bat will hit much farther. I would not change the experiment because it was fun and very interesting. One question that I would have is why do they hit farther?
