What are the physics in bowling?

In: Physics, Bowling

My 6th graders will be learning that next week. Ideas from last year's class:

Friction, as the ball travels down the lane. Both rolling and sliding friction can have an effect.
Momentum: it is conserved, because the total momentum / force on the pins is what we started with minus the friction (and the bounces!)
Velocity and acceleration
Gravity (you do have to lift the ball)
Rotation, though we can't do that math
