About This Game

This engaging word sort helps students understand patterns in motion. Students classify 12 different movements based on whether they repeat or happen once. Using familiar examples like bouncing balls, swinging pendulums, and falling leaves, the activity helps students recognize predictable patterns in motion. This hands-on sorting exercise aligns with NGSS 3-PS2-2 and helps students develop skills in observing and predicting motion patterns.
