Investigating Motion: Position, Speed, and VelocityHow do scientists describe motion?
√ = I can do that ? = I have a question or I can't do that * = I could do that if I review it.
When describing motion our descriptions should include the following: direction, initial and final pt., speed. The description should be accurate and complete.

Motion Match Activity
• In this activity, a specific motion will be observed. • Then, as a group, you will write descriptions of the movement.• Your written description will be acted out by the teacher to see if the motionis accurately matched.• Revisions will be made if necessary.

WHAT WE DID WHAT I LEARNED
1st period
We watched someone "do" a motion. We wrote directions and then asked someone who did not see the "original" motion to try to duplicate it using our directions.
When writing directions make sure to have a reference point. (position relative to a set of reference directions) origin
Making a map to show initial and final points can be helpful.
Stating directions to move or turn is important. For example make a quarter turn to your right. Or move clockwise around the table.
When describing motion include information about speed: slowing down, speeding up or constant speed.

WHAT WE DID WHAT I LEARNED
We observed a classmate's motion. Then we wrote individual and group directions. Next, another classmate who did not see the original motion, tried to duplicate it using our directions.
We learned that when describing motion, we need to include accurate details such as: changes in position, direction, changes in speed, reference point, time, distance and initial and final points.

WHAT WE DID WHAT I LEARNED
3rd period
We observed a classmate doing a "motion." We wrote individual and group instructions to describe the motion. Next, a student who did not see the original motion, tried to follow our directions to duplicate it.
You have to be very precise about the description you give.
Your description should include an initial and final point, speed, distance or reference points, descriptions of different actions, and direction.
