Things Move in Different Ways

with Lumi

Lumi the glowing firefly hovers in a bright playground, pointing at a swing, a spinning top, a rolling ball curving around a cone, and a slide showing a curved path — objects moving in many different ways.

Name six ways things can move: fast, slow, straight, curved, round and round, and back and forth.
Match a moving thing to the word that describes how it moves.
Show with your hand how a thing moves back and forth or round and round.
Choose the right movement word when you see a picture or example.

Key terms

movement: the way something changes its place or position
straight: moving in a line that does not turn
curved: moving along a path that bends
round and round: spinning in a circle over and over
back and forth: going one way then returning the other way

Speed and Path

When we watch things move, we can notice two things: how fast they go and what path they take. A race car moves fast while a turtle moves slow. A train on its track goes straight without turning, and a slide sends you along a curved path that bends from the top all the way down to the bottom.

Spinning and Swinging

Some movements repeat in special ways. A spinning top goes round and round, turning in a circle while staying in the same spot. A swing goes back and forth, moving out one way and then returning the other way, again and again. Both are still kinds of movement, even though the object does not travel far across the playground.

Worked examples

A swing moves out one way then comes back the other way over and over. How does it move?

Notice the swing goes one direction, then returns the same way.
It repeats this out-and-back pattern again and again.
That repeating out-and-back pattern is the back and forth way of moving.

Answer: The swing moves back and forth.

Hi friends, I am Lumi! Today we watch things move. Things can move in many different ways. Some things move FAST, like a racing car zooming by. Some things move SLOW, like a turtle taking tiny steps. Look at the path a thing takes. A train on a straight track goes STRAIGHT — it does not turn at all. A slide takes you on a CURVED path — it bends from top to bottom! Some things go ROUND AND ROUND, like a spinning top. It spins in a circle without going anywhere. It stays in the same spot while it turns — that is still movement, just a spinning kind! Try it with your wrist — spin it in a circle. That is round and round. A swing goes BACK AND FORTH. It moves one way, then comes back the other way, again and again. Try it with your hand! Push it out, pull it back. That is back and forth. Movement describes how something changes — its path, its speed, its spin. Watch the things around you. Can you find one that goes round and round? One that goes back and forth? You can do it!

Activity

Match each thing to the word that shows the way it moves.

Practice

How does a spinning top move around on the table?

What kind of movement does a train on a straight track make?

Common mistakes to avoid

A spinning top is not really moving.Spinning round and round is a kind of movement, even when the top stays in one spot.
A turtle moves back and forth because its steps repeat.The turtle walks forward slowly, which is not the same as swinging back the way it came.

Check your understanding

A swing goes one way, then the other way, again and again. How does it move?

A spinning top turns in a circle over and over. How does it move?

A turtle takes a long time to walk a short way. How does it move?

Recap

Things move in many different ways. They can go fast or slow, follow a straight or curved path, spin round and round in a circle, or swing back and forth out and back. Each of these is a real kind of movement we can watch and name.

Reflect

Which way of moving is your favorite to watch?
