Teacher Page

My webquest is good for teaching kids more about baseball. There is a lot more baseball to learn and I think my webquest is good for that. It will teach the kids more about Jackie Robinson and some about how hard a player swings to hit the ball. Some people hit at 85 mph trying to catch up to what the average pitcher throws is 92 mph.
