Bowling !!

On Thursday 18th Of December Brigshaw Stem Club set off on their first trip - Xscape Bowling !

When we got there we got our shoes and then went down the bowling lane that had been stripped of the stuff that makes it slippery so we all didnt go flying. First George measured how long the bowling lane was so this was how far the ball had to travel then we gathered round at the end and the senior technician explained how the camera on the middle bit between lanes records the scores and measures how fast the ball is travelling- it works it out in a very small 30cm space. Then we went behind the scenes and found out how the mechanisms worked. We found out that when all the pins are knocked down then are put on a circular conveyour belt the put out on a different belt the dropped in the correct slots then put back down on the lane.



After taking in all the info we went for two games of bowling and had a bite to eat then we all went home singing Christmas Carols on the bus :). This is Mr White trying to Bowl !! :)
