This student wanted to investigate whether heating a baseball affects how far it travels when thrown at the same speed by comparing the distance of a heated baseball to one at room temperature.

What a cool project! It is such an original idea and I would not have expected the temperature to make that big of a difference! Good job using multiple trials!
