As a native of Louisville where the Louisville Slugger bat is crafted, baseball has always been a part of my past time. From watching the St. Louis Cardinals to trading baseball cards I have always been a fan of the game. From Exploratorium comes The Science of Baseball which allows users to test their fastball reaction time (requires Flash) or see what makes a home run (requires Shockwave). There are also articles and other activities of interest related to baseball and science. For history teachers there is also information about women in the game and other historical aspects of baseball. For math teachers they provide statistical information that can be used to understand mathematical concepts. If looking to make a lesson more relevant during the spring time period or bring a baseball lesson into the classroom on Opening Day, check out The Science of Baseball.
