- I can predict the future motion of an object by analyzing observed patterns. #dok3
Big Ideas
- Patterns in the motion of objects can be observed, measured, and used to predict how those objects will move in the future.
- Careful observation and evidence help us understand and predict the behavior of moving objects.
Essential Questions
- How can making observations and measurements help us understand how things move?
- What kinds of patterns can be seen in the movement of objects?
- How can we use patterns to predict what will happen next to a moving object?
- Why is it important to use evidence when making predictions about motion?
- What tools or methods can help us measure and record how things move?
