1. Distance-Time Graphs – Variable – Card Match
In this activity students work individually or in groups to
match questions and answers.
‘Quick Cut’ – Choose the questions/slides you wish to use and delete others.
Sets of questions can then be easily guillotined to save time.
One-sheet sets of cards are also included for students to cut out themselves.

2. Printing To print handouts from slides -
Select the slide from the left. Then click:
File > Print > ‘Print Current Slide’
To print multiple slides -
Click on a section title to highlight all those slides,
or press ‘Ctrl’ at the same time as selecting slides to
highlight more than one. Then click:
File > Print > ‘Print Selection’
To print double-sided handouts -
Highlight both slides before using ‘Print Selection’.
Choose ‘Print on Both Sides’ and ‘Flip on Short Edge’.

3. Match each Distance-Time Graph with the turning point (vertical speed = 0)
and a speed
