1. Graphing Speed of a Moving Object Follow the directions and graph the data.

2. Directions for labeling your graph. Label the graph with: Title y-axis(distance) x-axis(time) Create a Key if there is more than one line being graphed Title Distance (__) Time (__) Key: Baby Scott----- Baby Sarah___

3. Create a Scale. Title:Baby Race Distance (_m_) Time (_s_) 0 1 2 3 4 5 0.5 Use the data to determine the scale. Use the range of information to create equally spaced numbers. Use data chart on Pg. 25 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5

4. Plot the points From the data using both Distance and Time. Draw a dot where the coordinates meet. Connect the dots as you go to prevent confusion if graphing more than one object Title:Baby Race Distance (_m_) Time (_s_) 0 1 2 3 4 5 0.5 2.0 1.0 1.5 2.5 3.0 3.5 Key: Baby Scott----- Baby Sarah___

5. Create the Line graph Use a straight edge to connect the dots Title:Baby Race Distance (_m_) Time (_s_) 0 1 2 3 4 5 0.5 2.0 1.0 1.5 2.5 3.0 3.5 Key: Baby Scott----- Baby Sarah___

6. Interpret your graph Answer questions on page 25 #4 1)Which baby moves at a constant speed? Scott moved at a constant speed because the slope of his line is STRAIGHT. 2) What is that baby’s speed? remember you need Speed=distance time 2.5/5=.5 m/s 3) Describe the speed of the other baby. Baby Sarah did not crawl at a constant speed. She stopped from 3-4 seconds. Her speed was 3.5/5=.7m/s
