We also had a science lesson in the visitor's batting cage. We learned about the composition of a baseball, how bats are made, what the "sweet spot" is on a bat, and about reaction time. We also learned what happens to a ball and bat when a player gets a hit.
We even had a chance to hit a few balls off a tee (something even Joe Mauer does) in the actual batting cage. It was a highlight for many of the fourth graders!
