Check understanding
- 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?”
