Increasingly, colleges and employers want applicants with strong conceptual analysis skills, so give them some practice! Applying these skills to position-time graphs encourages synthesis of knowledge. To complete an installment of a series exploring dimensional kinematics, scholars work through three stages of problems covering matching words to velocity graphs, matching slopes to relative speed, and matching dot diagrams to velocity graphs.

Instructional Ideas

• Use as a review or formative assessment tool

Classroom Considerations

• Relies on prior knowledge of slope, interpreting graphs, velocity, position, and negative velocity
• Interactive works on all Internet-capable devices to encourage more independent study by using smartphones in the classroom

Pros

• Links to related readings, Internet modules, and curriculum
• Provides immediate feedback after each question

Cons

• None
