My 6th graders will be learning that next week. Ideas from last year's class:
calculate the force of the ball and statistics
A bowling ball is a ball that is used in the game of bowling, where you roll the ball down an aisle and try to knock down as many pins as you can.
16 pounds is the maximum weight of a bowling ball that can be used in sanctioned events.
The basic equipment needed for a bowler is the bowling ball and bowling shoes. A bag to carry the ball in is common. Some bowlers use wrist aids for support.
The bowling ball is denser than the soccer ball, meaning it has more mass packed into the same volume. This is due to the material and construction of the bowling ball, which is designed to weigh more for the sport it is used in.
Delivery is the term used to describe the motion of the body and ball as it moves from the standing position holding the ball, through the steps towards the foul line and then release of the bowling ball.
The lowest weight bowling ball used at centers is 6 pounds as there still needs to be a certain amount of weight to work properly in the ball returns
6 pound Bowling balls have been considered the lightest to be used in order to properly be used with ball returns at the center.
A flat, smooth surface would be ideal for rolling a bowling ball successfully. Usually, wooden floors that were waxed are used in bowling lanes. This gives the bowling ball less friction, thus, giving it more acceleration and less slowing down.
Rolling the ball would be work and stopping the ball would be force.
The instrument used to measure the diameter of spherical objects is called calipers.
It was a heavy ball, Kinda like our today "Bowling Ball" It was slighty lighter to allow the ball to enter the hoop.
