Grade 3 began measuring for our bowling alley. We laid down a translucent sticks for our course of action. 

The children collaborated and made 2 posters for alley #1 and #2. We used our knowledge of perspective to make them.

Our students invented and made a bowling ball return machine during Science class. We tested out the device with great success. Be patient, we used slow motion cinematography. 

                                     
Grade 3 inquired into making a bowling pin returner prototype using origami. Here are the first steps of the process. 

We didn't have any origami paper; so, we made our own. 

 We used mathematics to do the steps. We learned about angles and geometry. 

The children put wholes in the boxes where the pins would be. 

We used a push pin (thumbtack) and pencil to drill the holes. 

These boy's box worked the best. We pretended that the pencils were bowling pins. The device was very fast loading.
