Bowling

Science

• The 5-6 year old will learn about the concept of force and motion as they roll the ball down the lane and knock over the pins.
• They will gain an understanding of energy transfer and friction as they observe how the ball interacts with the bowling lane surface.
• Through the activity, they will have the opportunity to explore concepts of measurement and angle as they aim and release the bowling ball towards the pins.

For continued development, encourage the child to explore the concept of kinetic and potential energy by experimenting with different types of bowling balls and observing how they respond when rolled down the lane. Additionally, you can introduce the idea of simple machines by discussing how the bowling ball return system works at the bowling alley.
