Students know that it is possible to measure the motion of an object based on the distance it will travel in a certain amount of time.
Students know that a graph can be created using one axis to represent the distance that an object travels, and the other axis to represent the period of time the object is traveling. Students know how to construct a graph that demonstrates a relation of distance to time.
Objectives:
5.P.1.2 Infer the motion of objects in terms of how far they travel in a certain amount of time and the direction in which they travel.
5.P.1.3 Illustrate the motion of an object using a graph to show a change in position over a period of time.
