History of Bowling
Bowling is thought to be a very old by nature, Sir Flinders Petrie discovered what he thought to be a crude form of bowling in the 1930s at a childs grave in Egypt. The remains were dated all the way back to 3200 BC. Bowling wasnt officially born until September 9th, 1895 at Beethoven Hall in York City. This is where the American Bowling Congress was born. There were a few years where bowling began to take big steps forward, in 1905 the first rubber ball was introduced and there was no longer the need for wooden balls. In 1917 the Womens International Bowling Congress was born forming the Womens National Bowling Association. Then in 1951 a major technological breakthrough set the stage for bowling the American Machine and Foundry Company purchased the patents to Gottfried Schmidt's automatic pins potter, and by late 1952, production model pins potters were introduced. This meant there was no longer the need for pin boys to stand the pins up. Also in the 1950s television began to embrace bowling which has turned it into the sport we all know it as today.

Objectives
Psychomotor
1. By the end of class, students will be able to properly do the 4 step approach, 3 out of times without stepping over the foul line. (NYS 1a, NASPE 1) 2. While warming up for class, students will work on their arm strength by completing 10 pushups followed by 15 tennis ball grips. ( NYS 1b ,NASPE 1)

Cognitive
1. During the demonstration, students will be able to recite and demonstrate all 4 steps to the approach. (NYS 2. NASPE 2) 2. At the end of the unit the students will be able make their own stations up, displaying the 5 main skills needed in bowling.(NYS 2. NASPE 1,2 )

Affective
1. During the lesson, students will provide encouragement to their peers, such as, great job during the practice of the 4 step approach. (NYS 2, NASAPE 5) 2. At the end of the unit, with a partner, the students will compare and contrast the benefits of knowing bowling as a lifetime activity. (NYS 2, 3. NASPE 5, 6 )

Bowlings Major Rules and Scoring Guidelines

Rules:
1. The object is to roll the ball down the lane without getting the ball in the gutters and to knock as many pins down as possible. 2. Appropriate shoes must be worn at bowling lanes. 3. A bowler must not step over the foul line when bowling his/her turns. If the bowler does step over the line a turn is taken away and any pins that were knocked down are stood back up. 4. Each bowler bowls 10 frames when bowling. Each bowler gets 2 bowls per frame. There will be 10 pins used in a match. 5. The lane is 60 ft. long from foul line to the first pin. 6. The biggest circumference a bowling ball can be is 27 inches.

Scoring:
1. When the player knocks all the pins down with their first bowl it is considered a strike. An X is used to indicate a strike on the scoring sheet. For scoring a strike, 10 points is added to whatever the bowler bowls in his next two frames. 2. If they knock all of them down with their second roll in the same frame this is considered a spare. A / is used to indicate a spare on the scoring sheet. For scoring a spare, 10 points is added to whatever the bowler gets in the next frame. 3. For a strike, if a player rolls 3 strikes in the first 3 frames than 30 points would be recorded in the first frame spot. If the bowler bowls a strike and then two 6s, then 22 would be recorded in the 4. If there is no strike or spare then you just add up the total number of pins knocked down and right that score down.

Terminology
1. Foul Line: The mark that determines the beginning of the lane, 60' this side of the head pin, where the gutters start. Usually red. Has detector lights ("foul lights") and a buzzer to alert your team and opponents to your clumsiness. Crossing it gets you a count of zero for that ball and, if on the first ball, a shot at a new rack of pins. 1. Handicap: is used in bowling to create parity between bowlers and stimulate greater competition. It is (200-average score) x .8. This number is then added to each players total score at the end of the game during tournament play. 1. Bumpers: pop up rails that can be programmed for those users who require them. They slide up along the inner edge of the gutter and slide back down for users who dont require them. This is a very nice feature for families with small children or groups with adults who may want to take advantage of the help. 1. 4 Step Approach: Bowling timing is best described as the relationship between your footwork and arm swing. Using a four step approach as the model where a right handed bowler steps first with the right foot, then the beginning of the swing should move the bowling arm from the set-up position where the ball is held near the body to an extended position by placing the elbow in a full arm extension toward the target. Achieving an outward, downward and uninterrupted motion to begin a free and uncontrolled backswing along the desired path will set the beginning of the arm swing effectively. 1. Strike: All pins are knocked down with one ball. You score 10 plus the pin count from the next two balls. Maximum 30 points. 1. Spare: All pins down with two balls, in the same frame. You score 10 plus the pin count from the next ball. Maximum 20 points 1. 300 : is a perfect score in bowling. Bowled a strike every time, 12 times in total. 1. Follow Through: Motion after release. Should be toward the pin you're aiming at and may include a second "shadow" swing without the ball. 1. Turkey: Three strikes in a row. 1. Bowling Alley: 1) A group of lanes; 2) bowling establishment; 3) playing surface,usually made of maple and pine boards; urethane lanes may soon outnumber wood lanes.

Strategies:
The main thing with bowling is to try and hit the pin in front to try to get a strike or a spare. The next thing is to try and hook the ball into the front pin which will help you get that strike.

Concepts:
The concept is to try and get as many strikes as you can. If you cant get a strike than you at least want to get a spare. If you cant get either of those than try to and get as many pins down as possible. The object is to get as high of a score as you can to win.
