In this lesson on distance-time graphs, young scholars will understand graphing by analyzing distance-time graphs.

Students will create distance-time and velocity-time graphs with CBL2 and motion detectors.

In this activity, students use a Motion Detector to measure distance and velocity. Students prepare graphs of motion and analyze them. They compare and match graphs of distance versus time and velocity versus time.

Students can use a CBR 2 motion detector to measure distance and velocity. Students prepare graphs of motion and analyze them. They compare and match graphs of distance versus time and velocity versus time.

This lab is designed to have students find the relationships that affect the stopping distance and stopping time of a car on a roadway. Students will be able to modify the tires, road surface, the mass of the car, gravitational...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Understand how to evaluate data presented in graphs based on speed and velocity calculations.

Students learn about slope, determining slope, distance vs. time graphs through a motion-filled activity. Working in teams with calculators and CBL motion detectors, students attempt to match the provided graphs and equations with the...

In this introduction to motion activity, young scholars will get a personal understanding of speed and acceleration by experiencing it firsthand. Wheeled office chairs or other cart like devices are used to give one student a ride as a...

An interactive tool where students can explore how a spring behaves, and how changing the elasticity, mass, push/pull force, and friction affect its motion or period. As the spring moves, its motion is shown on a distance-time graph.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students try to emulate a time vs. distance graph on their graphing calculator using the CBR2. Next, the CBR2 is "swept" across an area in which three students are standing to...

Since running a race car is VERY expensive, race engineers know a great deal about how speed, time and distance relate. In this activity, you will investigate the relationship between distance traveled, speed and elapsed time. You will...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How motion and speed can be represented by a distance-time graph and how average speed can be calculated from it.

Students use the CBR 2 to study how a change in mass affects the average speed of a falling object. They graph distance as a function of time, and interpret and analyze graphs representing motion.

CBR and Graphing Calculators allow a conceptual understanding of distance-time graphs.

In this activity, students walk in front of a calculator-based ranger CBR and try to match a distance-time graph. They examine the rate of change, and analyze and interpret the graph of a function.

In this lesson, students investigate motion graphs. Students predict what the distance-time graph and velocity time graph would look like for a student walking across the room for three different scenarios.

In this activity, students' will use a motion detector to record the distance versus time data for the simple motion of a walker. They will calculate velocity from this graph and compare it with the velocity graph generated by the...

Lesson involves scientific investigation and knowledge of units of measurement. Students will select and submerge a growing water animal toy, predicting and measuring its growth of at least three places of metric measurement of distance...

In this video segment from Cyberchase, Harry decides to train as a firefighter and uses line graphs to chart his physical fitness progress.

Test your knowledge of coordinate geometry by taking this twenty question multiple-choice practice test. Use a graphing calculator to help with any graphing problems and check your answers at any given time throughout the test.

Students use ultrasonic sensors and LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robots to emulate how bats use echolocation to detect obstacles. They measure the robot's reaction times as it senses objects at two distances and with different sensor threshold...

Given diagrams or scenarios, students will measure and graph changes in motion.

Students use the CBR 2 to gather distance and time data for various walking speeds. They observe the effect of change in direction and speed of motion on distance versus time graphs. Students interpret and analyze graphs, calculate slope...

After viewing an introductory illustrated podcast on speed, distance, time, and velocity, students explore distance-time graphs using interactive websites. Working in cooperative learning groups, students will investigate the motion of...
