Wood vs. AluminumBy: ky Schlosberg
questionWhich bat will hit the ball farther? Wood or
aluminum.
hypothesisMy hypothesis is that the aluminum bat will hit
farther, because the aluminum bat is hollow and the wood bat isn’t. And it pops more off a bat that is hollow than not.
ResearchThe Wood bat was invented some where in the late 1800’s.
At first they were all different shapes and sizes , then in 1859 a rule was made that bats could only have 2.5 inches in diameter.
The aluminum bat was first patented in 1924 by William Shroyer. This idea supposividly came to him when there was a lot of splintering of the wooden bats.
Design of experiment control: I will use the same amount force when
I hit the ball with both bats.Variable: I will use a different kinds of bat. The
wind and height of the tee are also variables.
the experiment
wood aluminum
Here is me conducting my experiment…
resultsWood 1 19/25 206.68
Aluminum 1 21/25 229.76
Wood 2 22/25 224.4
Aluminum 2 22/25 230.84

data
conclusionMy hypothesis was correct. The aluminum bat hit better than
the wood bat. I can conclude this because I had better distance and good hits with the aluminum bat, compared to the wood bat. So, aluminum bats hits better than wood bat. Therefore the aluminum bat wins!
