Predicting Motion Patterns

预测运动规律

Make observations and measurements of an object's motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion

✓ Measure an object's motion (distance, speed, direction) under different conditions
✓ Identify a pattern in the data (e.g. steeper ramp = further roll)
✓ Use the pattern to make and test a prediction about future motion

If your child rolls a ball down ramps of different heights, can they spot the pattern and predict how far it will roll from a new height?
