Stem in Baseball - Paperback

by Beatrice Harris (Author)

Baseball is really a STEM-based game when you think about it. Science, technology, engineering, and math are all a part of the sport. Statisticians keep track of how fast a pitcher throws and how far a ball is hit, for example. Players are always willing to try new methods or gear that will make their team the victors. People may not think of these things as scientific concepts, but readers soon will! In this insightful volume, they'll discover some of the STEM concepts behind this popular pastime. Graphic organizers, fact boxes, and sidebars further aid readers in recognizing STEM at the ballpark and in the world around them.
