As we know, mass and acceleration are inversely proportional to one another when the net force is kept constant (F = ma). This year (as with every other year I have taught at Beekman), I brought the students in my Physics classes to play a game of bowling, where we saw Newton’s Laws of Motion in action! We had a great time trying out the differently weighted balls to compare the acceleration of the ball down the lane. I wanted to share the experience with the students in my classes, since, along with the fun and laughter of the game, there is also a lot of science to explore. It reminds me of good times, camaraderie, cheerfulness and sometimes, playful heckling. Growing up with a family that loved bowling, the game has always had a special meaning for me. The one that we are most familiar with is ten-pin bowling in our neighborhood bowling alley. One that makes it to the shortlist would be BOWLING! It is a time-tested game that has been enjoyed by millions around the world in various forms. Name a game that can be enjoyed by the young and the old, the rich and the poor, the strong and the weak, the tall and the short, male and female alike, and that list will be fairly limited.
