I am ten years old and I am doing a science project. My dad and I have been looking all morning for this, maybe you can help me.

Matt -
This is a great opportunity to learn some physics. Visit the following site:

http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/Class/newtlaws/u2l1a.html

Newton's Laws will help explain why a real baseball (heavier) travels farther than a wiffle ball (lighter). Momentum (mass x velocity) has a lot to do with it.
The web site is a great tutorial on the basics and your teacher will love the fact that you are using science to understand baseball.
