Exploring Patterns in Motion
early grades focus on recognizing simple motion patterns in everyday life. Students explore patterns in various forms of motion, such as oscillations and rotations. By 5th grade, they understand complex motions and apply this knowledge to predict future motion patterns in physics and real-world applications.
Simple Graphs of Motion
Initially using simple graphs to track speed or distance over time, students progress to more detailed motion graphs. By 5th grade, they use graphs to analyze acceleration and interpret various types of motion, preparing them for advanced studies in dynamics and kinematics.
Basic Rate of Change
Students begin by understanding the concept of change over time in simple contexts. They learn to calculate rate of change using simple algebra by 3rd grade. By 5th grade, they apply these concepts to complex situations like population growth or chemical reaction rates, using calculus-ready skills.
