Baseball season is upon us and while that makes most of us think of long summer afternoons and the cheer of the crowd, The Science of Baseball takes a different look at the game. This site uses videos and interactive games to explain why a knuckleball is so hard to hit, how to find the "sweet spot" on a baseball bat and what baseball players have in common with cheetahs. Take a look behind the fastballs and statistics at this multimedia site from Exploratorium, one of the science sites featured on the Homework section of our Teen page.
