Designing a bowling alley that has the least amount of friction!

Today, in science we have been investigating friction and we had the task to find a material that would make the best bowling alley with the least amount of friction. Most of us found that the sand paper made the worst bowling alley and whiteboards made the best, as the ball rolled across them quickest!

As an extension, we discussed ways we could further reduce the friction, such as using polish, oil or soapy water on the bowling alley material!
