Types of Motion
- Simple harmonic motion – (e.g. pendulum).
- Periodic motion
- Rectilinear motion (Linear motion) – motion which follows a straight linear path, and whose displacement is exactly the same as its trajectory.
- Reciprocating (i.e. vibration)
- Brownian motion (i.e. the random movement of particles)
- Circular motion (e.g. the orbits of planets)
- Rotary motion – a motion about a fixed point. (e.g. Ferris wheel).
- Curvilinear motion – It is defined as the motion along a curved path that may be planar or in three dimensions.
- Rotational motion
- Rolling motion - (e.g. the wheel of a bicycle)
- Oscillation
- Combination motions - Combination of two or more above listed motions

“The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)

“It may be possible to do without dancing entirely. Instances have been known of young people passing many, many months successively, without being at any ball of any description, and no material injury accrue either to body or mind; Mbut when a beginning is made—when felicities of rapid motion have once been, though slightly, felt—it must be a very heavy set that does not ask for more.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
