title: Sports Science Projects: The Physics of Balls in Motion (Science Fair Success)
author:  Madeline P. Goodstein 
description: Grade 6-10-This well-organized, clearly written series title will get readers thinking about why a baseball has stitches, why a tennis ball has fuzz, and how a Ping-Pong ball will change if its center is filled. Exciting experiments demonstrate the differences among the types of balls used in sports and the relationship between design and performance. Many of the experiments are followed by excellent ideas for science-fair projects. Black-and-white diagrams and drawings illustrate the concepts discussed. This valuable, practical resource encourages exploration and experimentation.<br /><i>Paul Bielich, Northwestern High School, Detroit, MI </i><br />Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.
