Progressive and Retrograde Motion

Number of Activities:
4 adapted activities, including multiple choice, image observation, and interpretation of everyday situations.

Target Audience:
Students with difficulties in reading, abstraction, and interpretation in Physics. Recommended for Middle School (7th to 9th grades) and High School. Also suitable for students with mild to moderate Intellectual Disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, Down Syndrome, Dyslexia, Apraxia, and students in the literacy process.

Format:
Printable PDF in color, with supporting illustrations, real-life situations, simplified statements, and an included answer key.

Objective:
To support learning about the classification of progressive and retrograde motion, bringing concepts closer to students’ real-life experiences through concrete examples (cars in motion, a dog chasing a ball, returning with an object).

Content:

• Themes: Progressive and retrograde motion; increase and decrease of distances; interpretation of displacements.

• Methodology: Objective questions based on images, practical examples, and everyday situations.

• Exercises: Identifying progressive/retrograde motion in cars, interpreting a dog running toward a ball, and returning to the starting point.

Highlights:
✅ Playful and inclusive resource for teaching Physics.
✅ Brings abstract concepts closer to everyday situations.
✅ Step-by-step structure that improves focus and attention.
✅ Can be used in both regular classrooms and special education with dramatizations and concrete objects.
✅ Saves teachers 8h35min of preparation time.
