Blu-O Bowling G5 Field Trip
Earlier this year, Grade 5 visited a local bowling alley as part of our unit on forces in the real world. It was a great opportunity for the students to see science in action. As students rolled their bowling balls down the lane, they observed how force, motion, and direction worked together to determine the outcome. There were cheers for strikes, groans over gutter balls, and plenty of encouragement shared between teammates.
The trip allowed students to experience their learning in an authentic setting while building teamwork and resilience. They reflected on how small adjustments in their approach changed the results and began to see that the concepts discussed in class truly apply beyond school walls. Most importantly, it was a joyful day filled with laughter, friendly competition, and memorable moments that Grade 5 will carry with them long after the final frame.
