[CER] DISCUSSION QUESTION:
Can self-driving cars today accurately and safely detect patterns to predict future motion? Make a claim then gather evidence to support and justify your claim throughout this lesson. |
/ Ii / Investigate
1. Mass and Collisions - plan and conduct an investigation to determine how the mass of an object affects the force it applies during a collision.
2. Fatal Accidents - argue whether or not some types of cars are more dangerous than others. 3. Falling Objects - make observations and measurements to predict the motion of falling objects. 4. Bouncy Ball - make observations and measurements to predict the motion of a bouncing ball. |

Discover and describe how the motion of objects such as this skateboarder can be predicted using this simulation.
/ Iii / Level Up!
During this lesson you will learn more about how you can predict an object’s motion, changes in motion, and stability.
✎Notes:
- Each force acts on one particular object and has both a strength and a direction.
- An object at rest typically has multiple forces acting on it, but they add to give zero net force on the object.
- Forces that do not sum to zero can cause changes in the object’s speed or direction of motion.
- The patterns of an object’s motion in various situations can be observed and measured; when past motion exhibits a regular pattern, future motion can be predicted from it.

ACCOMPLISHED [+3 points]
Describe the data you should collect to investigate the motion of each object as it repeats a pattern over time:
ADVANCED [+4 points]
According to the, "Predicting Patterns of Motion Experiment" results how does the number of books impact the speed of the ball? Do the results of this experiment support your own predictions? Explain why or why not using evidence. |

EXPERT [+5 points]
Plan an investigation to make observations and measurements of the motion of a ball rolling to identify a pattern that can be used to predict future motion. In your investigation plan be sure to include each of the following:

/ V / Knowledge Check
Watch the following video of a rubber ball bouncing on a table. The video was filmed in slow motion and zoomed in so the readings on a yardstick can be made.
