Describing motion seems like it should be easy – but it’s actually tricky. When scientists think about motion they use words like RELATIVE, REFERENCE POINTS, DISTANCE, DISPLACEMENT, SPEED, DISTANCE, and TIME!
Use the websites below to help you fill out the handout. You will glue this handout into your notebook.
What is motion exactly? What branch of science studies motion? Check out this website for help (just read the first paragraph) – CLICK HERE!
How is motion relative? PLAY THE INTRODUCTION, THE TRIALS, and THE REVIEW. Now Click Here!
To understand motion, you have to know what reference points are. Scroll down to Point Of Reference. Click here to find out for yourself!
What is the difference between distance and displacement? Check out this site. CLICK HERE!

Now you know about motion but what is speed? And how can you calculate it? Do the LEARN SECTION, THE TEST, AND THE REVIEW CLICK HERE!
ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF YOUR NOTEBOOK DRAW AND LABEL 5 PICTURES THAT WOULD HELP TEACH THESE CONCEPTS TO A YOUNGER CHILD. REMEMBER NOT TO GIVE ME A CUP OF DIRT!
Leave me a comment! How engaged were you today?

A word from our Wabbit- Boys, we are the boys in motion! Seriously though, motion rocks! How do you think we play kickball without it- This has been a word from our Wabbit.
hey mrs.s we loved doing this activity luvz ya we miss u!!!!!!!!!
We were really engaged or blast off on your meter. We had a great time doing this fun activity. Now we know about the difference between distance and displacement. I hope you had an AWESOME time at camp!!!!!! Mrs. Hurt did AWESOME!!!!!!!
Mrs.Stoddart
our group thought that physics was kind of hard but we all know that we will get the hang of it. It wasnt only hard but it was very fun also. We will all study very hard. We cant wait to do another project like this and learn more about physics!!!!
this was very fun wish you were here to help us have fun at camp
i cant wait till we start doing experiments and labs onforces and motions.
i learned the formula or speed
distance(meters)/ time(seconds)
i learned alot more about speed
it was fun learning about motion
Hi mrs.stoddart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today i learned that motion is whenever something is moving, like a ballgoing off a ramp.
peace!
motion is fun
I am going to love learning about forces and motions!
go to http://www.physicgames.com and I am ok with physics but at thesame time easy
We thought the lesson today was a little bit complicated but some parts were easier than others!
that was fun =)
I had alot of fun learning about physics and motion today
This was a really fun (lab maybe?) though point of reference was kind of hard.
hi mrs stoddart i learned alot about mummies i learned that they are rapped up in bandiges and that they are put in this tent to take out there orgins and lungs and stuff and another thing i learned was that they have to take out there brain with a small hook up his nose!!!!
:):):0:P:P:P:P:0:(:)
I LOVED THIS AND THATS WHY IM SEMDING ANOTHER COMMENT !! I LIKED THIS BECAUSE WE WATCHED THE GUY GET HIT IN THE HEAD WITH THE HAMMER AND THAT WAS SO THAT THEY COULD PULL THE BRAIN OUT WITH A SHARP HOOK! AND THEN THEY SCENTED IT TWO TIMES AND WRAPPED IT!!AND THE HORRIBLW HISTORIES!!THANK YOU FOR LETTING US WORK AND HAVE FUN AT THE SAME TIME!!
I learned a lot about mummys like how to take a brain out. I did not not like this leson its weird and grose!
