Clay is put into baseball/softball fields and in the bullpens. If clay did nit have time to harden it would not be good playing conditions. The clay is under the grass and sand at many fields. Harmaden is a example of a clay field.

They were invented by George B. Hansburg in Germany in 1919. They were originally made of wood. 1947 Hansburg made a steel version. In 2001 an American company made a air-powered pogo stick.
Steel is one of the worlds most inexpensive metals used to make pogo sticks. Eventually show girls performed on pogo sticks. Together iron and steel compose the most pogo sticks in the usa.The pogo sticks became wildly popular is the usa.

pogo stick
made in 1919.
by George B. Hansberg.
orginaly made of wood.
wood wasn't favorible because it reacted with the hot humid weather when shipped over seas and was then unselable and made them out of steel.
Iron and carbon were used to make steel.
A) Golf
B)Balls used to be made out of leather and feathers, balls are now plastic resadues, club heads used to be wood, now they are lager to make balls fly higher
C)Clubs are now made of diffrent minirals such as graphite, Titamium, Berriulium, Copper, Aluminum, and steel
Measurment of stiffness is modulus of elasticity
Elongation meansures how far a material can be streatched before breakng
Tensile strength varies with the type of alloy used and how the tube is made
tough metal is more ductile & deforms before breaking

c.) Iron, mixed with carbon, makes steel for the Pogo Stick material.
I leArned that golf clubs are made from mainly titanium ans that we are experimenting with other alloys to make golf culbs mor flexible, and stronger. Befoe now most golf clubs were made from wood and had metal drivers. The metal they use was not a durable one so they often broke.
Clay Courts
1.lots of sports feilds are mad out of clay compost.
2.clay by itself isnt an ideal surface.
3.calcined clay is clay that has been heated in a furnace
at about 2,000ยบ
4.When first introduced, this clay/sand/silt mixture represented a vast improvement over the older solid clay surface used on playing fields.
Because, clay is a minural.

The difference between rocks and minerals is that rocks are made of different minerals,minerals are a nonliving material and is a compound made of two or more elements chemically combinde,rocks are made of magma and other rocks joined by heat and pressure
