Patterns of Motion Science Games

In this series of games, your students will learn that the patterns of an object’s motion in various situations can be observed and measured; when that past motion exhibits a regular pattern, future motion can be predicted from it. Patterns of Motion learning objective — based on NGSS and state standards — delivers improved student engagement and academic performance in your classroom, as demonstrated by research.

Concepts Covered

The motion of objects in some situations demonstrates regular patterns. Patterns of motion can be observed and measured. When the past motion of an object demonstrates a regular pattern, future motion can be predicted from it.

A force is a push or a pull on an object. A force has both a strength and a direction. Motion is the change in the position of an object. Gravity is a force that pulls all objects on Earth down towards Earth’s surface.
