1.You can tell if an object moved even without a reference point.
2. There is motion when the object stays on the same location.
3.An object is said to have moved if it changed its position.
4.Position and motion can make sense even without a frame of
reference.
5.The actual position of an object from a reference point can be
changed.

The Amazing Marble!
 What to Do:
1. Gather all the materials needed.
2. Position the rulers together with the book with distance from each other that
would fit a marble. The rulers will serve as a ramp for the marbles.
3. Release the marble between the ruler. Then, record the distance using the
meterstick. Measure in centimeters the distance covered by the marbles.
4. Put another book on the top of the two books. Repeat step 2 and 3.
4. Put another book on top of the two books. Repeat steps 2 and 3.
5. Record your measurement in the table below.

marble? Why do you think the marble traveled the shortest
distance with this setup?
2. What setup resulted in the longest distance traveled by the
marble? Why?
3. What is the speed of the marbles in the three setups?
 What is Distance?

Distance is defined as the measure of how far or near

two points are from one another. Measuring distance
allows you to determine how far you have travelled
from one place to another.
Distance is an important factor in measuring
motion.
What are the appropriate units and tools in measuring distance?

There are appropriate tools and ways to measure distance so that

you can tell whether an object is far or near.
 Appropriate Tools for Measuring Distance

In science, distance should always be exact, measured

accurately and based on a standard unit of measurement.

Scientifically, distance should be measured by using

measuring tools such as the ruler, meter stick, tape measure
and measuring wheel.
 The Metric System of Measurement

The metric system is the world standard for measurement. It is used by

scientists throughout the world.

Having a standard unit of measure makes it easier for a scientist and

other people to understand each other’s data. Using different units of
measurement may lead to misunderstanding and confusion among people.
 In the metric system, the standard unit of measurement used for
distance or length is meter.

You just add the prefix kilo when you are referring to distance is
quite far. Prefix like deci, centi, and milli are used if the length is quite
short.

 Amazing Robot!
Instructions:
1. Draw a line on a platform/floor which serves as a starting point of the robot
2. Press the switch button as and then turn on the robot, select the program assigned by
your teacher to your group.

3. Using a ruler. Measure the distance travelled by the robot in centimeter from initial
position to point 1. Do this for point 1 to point 2.
