2. What is Motion? Motion is when an object changes position.
When an object goes from one place to another, it has moved.

3. Things to think about:
Motion has a direction. (up, down, right, left, north, south, backwards, towards, etc.)
The rate of motion can be measured. (speed, acceleration)

4. Motion Slides
In the slides that follow, objects will be shown at different times.
Your goal is to figure out:
What’s moving and what isn’t?
How can you describe the motion?

9. Question time:
What moved? What frames of reference did you use? What direction did the moving object move in?

10. Here’s another one.

16. Question time:
What moved? What frames of reference did you use? What direction(s) did the moving object(s) move in?
Let’s see that again.

17. Here’s another one.

35. I did not see that coming.

36. Um… yeah
Just remember: Motion is when an object changes position. Motion can be described using directions and frames of reference Motion can be measured using speed, and acceleration.
