Science Project with Golf Balls of Course

 Hunter's class had their science fair recently.  They were supposed to do a comparison project.  Hunter didn't know what to do.  We thought about it and finally came up with the idea to compare golf balls to see which go furthest.  We are never in short supply of golf balls around here so collecting them was the easy part.  We had to figure out a way to make sure it ball was hit with the same amount of force.  Mike and Hunter built a little pendulum contraption that used a hammer to strike the balls.

 They had a fun time over at the golf course hitting the golf balls and recording their distance.  I think it is great when kids can incorporate what they love with school projects.
