Bowling is full of Math and Science

When we go to the Bowling alley it takes about 2 hours to complete one game. The kids learn a lot each time because it is full of education and fun at the same time. A little fun competition in math and for sure the science of balance, gravity, speed, friction. Of course we are all at the very elementary parts of it but they see if all is in place you KNOCK EM ALL DOWN...if they slide, turn, drop, etc...it is not going to go as we want.

Their older sister is a "bumper lover" as she calls it after I was sorting who could be on the bumper lane and who needed no bumpers. I was then deemed the Bumper Police and not in a good way..LOL I have two of the kids active in Special Olympics bowling and they must not use bumpers. bumpers change the science of bowling and them messing up math competition...LOL LOL LOL
