About the Author
Madeline Goodstein is a retired professor of chemistry from Central Connecticut State University. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, as well as writing, reading, and running.
From Booklist
Goodstein provides nearly 40 projects involving sports balls that demonstrate the principles of physics. She describes the composition of each ball (baseball, basketball, football, golf, rubber, and tennis), its rebound rating, the effects of temperature on its bounce, and several other properties. She also explains the Magnus effect and the Bernoulli principle. Most experiments are easy to perform and use readily available equipment. Appropriate cautions are noted when demonstrations require drilling, sawing, or fire. The most appealing parts of the book are the explanations of how physical principles affect sporting techniques--for example, the reason for the dimples on a golf ball. This book in the Science Fair Success series should find an audience among sports enthusiasts and reluctant science fair participants. A bibliography and a list of Web sites are appended. Kay Weisman
