Learners explore two-dimensional motion through visual modeling with an interactive lesson that allows them to control the path of a robot. Graphs show both the horizontal and vertical motion as the robot continues through its...

In this lab, students will be able to change the radius and the linear speed of a wheel. They can then see how each of these variables affects the angular speed. Students can also look at the relationship between angular distance and...

This lab was designed to allow students to creatively play with the motion of a car and to see how the motion of the car is illustrated in graphs of position vs. time and velocity vs. time.

This lab was designed to generate some data that students can use when learning about simple graphing motion. Students will track the motion of a row boat as it moves through a course and then they will create a graph of the data that...

This lab was designed to generate some data that students can use when learning about two stage graphing motion. Students will track the motion of a dragster as it accelerates and then moves at a constant speed and then they will create...

Using a motion detector, students produce graphs that show the motion of a toy car as it moves on a ramp. Students collect distance versus time graphs and velocity versus time graphs as well as predict what the motion will look like on...

Explore the relationship between the angular and linear velocity for two bugs on a rotating disk.

This lab is designed to have students investigate the nature of a nonlinear collision using curling stones. Students will be able to look at how the velocities before the collision and the mass of the stones affects the results of the...

This lab is designed to have students find the relationships that govern the behavior of a package that has been released by a drone that is flying horizontally. Students will have control over the drone's height and horizontal speed....

Learn how to make waves! Using a motion sensor, students will recreate distance vs. time graphs given in the lab. Lab gives a detailed procedure as well as questions that can be saved online.
