Can I hit a baseball better with a wooden bat or an aluminum bat?
Objective: To discover if a ball goes farther when hit with a wooden or aluminum bat.
Hypothesis: I believe that the aluminum will hit the ball farther because it’s lighter than the wooden bat.
Materials List:
Wooden bat
Aluminum Bat
About 10-12 baseballs
Metal Stand to hold bat
Pitching Machine
Measuring Tape
1 assistant
Steps/ Procedures:
Place the aluminum bat on the metal stand.
Place the pitching machine 2 meters (2.19 yds.) away from the stand
Throw the baseballs in different spots on the bat then record the distance of each ball with the measuring tape.
Repeat the same steps using the wooden bat.
