Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Reference Frames and Scale Units. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
Acceleration is a vector quantity with a magnitude and direction.
Motion is defined as the change in position of an object.
Measured values are described in terms of units.
Average speed is defined as the distance an object travels divided by the time it takes to travel that distance.
Motion can be described in terms of the position, velocity, and acceleration of an object.
Derived units are combinations of fundamental SI base units.
Velocity is a measure of the speed of an object and the direction in which it travels.
SI units are a standard set of units of measurements that scientists use.
Acceleration is a measure of the change in velocity of an object over an interval of time.
Velocity is a vector quantity with a magnitude and direction.
All motion is defined relative to a reference frame.
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
What are some units of measurement that you know? What do they measure? How can you change the speed and direction of a moving ball?
After the Game
What are three examples of SI units that we use? What are some alternative units of measure that we use in the United States? What makes a measure be a vector? What does velocity of a vehicle measure? How is acceleration related to velocity?
