This article offers a highly detailed lesson on how to include a field trip to a bowling alley into a guided inquiry based lesson on energy - specifically on the transfer of energy between potential and kinetic energy. The article presented information on how and when to implement this field trip lesson plan, along with a detailed lab report for use at the bowling alley. I highly recommend this article if you are looking for an active and engaging lesson plan idea to engage students in math and science. Even if you do not have access to a bowling alley, this article may inspire other kinesthetic ideas on how to promote math and sciences into other field trip opportunities. It is a great overall resource as a pre-, during and post- field trip planning guide.
