Bell Ringer Describe the motion of the object at each part on the two different graphs. Time Velocity D E F Displacement Time A B C A: + acceleration, speed up D: + acceleration B: not moving E: + constant velocity C: constant + velocity F: - acceleration

Motion Graph Story Book Project

Goal Create a storybook, cartoon, poster, animation or screen shots displaying constant and accelerated motion.

Your Project Must Have…. Simple story plotline Illustrations At least 5 different motions At least 2 constant velocity At least 2 accelerated motion Each motion must have Displacement vs. time graph Velocity vs. time graph Acceleration vs. time graph

Example Story “The Hungry Bug” Darcy the lady bug was a happy little bug. One day, she decided to take a walk to the nearby park. She left her home and crawled at a calm, constant pace. She then slowed down to a stop and sat on a park bench to enjoy the sun. She remained there and enjoyed her lunch for most of the afternoon. After she was finished, she remembered she had an appointment to meet her friend Lucky. She calmly walked back to her home and then quickly speed off away from her home until she came to a rest at her friends house.

Scoring Rubric 1 2 3 Turned In Motions Story Plot Illustration d vs. t graph V vs. t graph a vs. t Care/Creativity Very Late Less than 3 motions Not Present Not present Sloppy, unfinished 1 2 Days Late Only 3 motions Plot confusing and disorganized Not clear what illustration is displaying. Lacks more than one component or makes one mistake Project is “Bare-boned.” 2 1 day Late Only 4 motions Inconsistent plot without graphs. Only illustration is clear, but sloppy. Lacks one component or makes one mistake Some creativity/care, but did not attempt to “think outside the box” 3 On Time 5 Motions Clear and understandable plot Illustration is clear and displays something relevant to the plot. Includes all labels, displays motion clearly and matches plot. Care was clearly put into the project. (EXTRA SPECIAL project +2 Extra Credit. BE CREATIVE!!!)

Example Student Project on constant motion only

Motion Graph Story Book Project Jasmine McDowell

Jane was really early one day for school and decided to make a couple of trips around the school.

She went up a flight of stairs at a constant rate taking her time.

When on the top floor she stopped and talked to a teach for twice as long as it took her to go up the stairs.

She went back down the stairs at the same speed stopping halfway to talk to a friend for the same amount of time it took her to go up the stairs, then continued down to the main floor.

There she stopped to eat a muffin for the same amount of time it took to talk to the teacher.

From there she walked down another flight of stairs, at the same constant speed as the first time, to check on a project.

She stayed there for half the time it took her to eat the muffin.

Then ran up three flights of stairs to get to her first class, twice as fast as the time it took her to work on her project .
