Bowling

We have been learning about different forces around us. We were lucky enough to be able to do some bowling in our school hall. The aim was to bowl our ball so that it was the closest to the white ball (the Jack). The first time we bowled our ball, some of us used too much force and they rolled right off the mat! We then adapted our technique to see if we could get closer. We worked out that the ball was going in a curve. Our teacher explained that one side of the ball was weighted to make it curve (this side is called the bias). Ethan, William and Jacqueline were our overall class 'winners' as they were able to get the closest to the Jack. Can you name all of the other forces that were in action?
