future time to be applied which may be forgotten
or become obsolete

time lapse between related subjects
Overproduction Extra and unnecessary curriculum and
assessment activities
Transportation Knowledge must be carried from one subject to
another which may not allow a proper
continuation in the learning stream

kept “on hold” until a later subject
Motion Moving from one subject to another without fully
understanding the first subject
Defects Shallow learning, forgotten curriculum, failure to
