1. Graphing Motion NLMS 5-8-13

2. motion

3. 7.P.1.3 Illustrate the motion of an object using a graph to show a change in position over a period of time. 7.P.1.4 Interpret distance versus time graphs for constant speed and variable motion.

4. Desired Outcomes Use motion detector to build an understanding of motion graphs. Predict and measure motion from a graph. Calculate speed from a graph.

6. Did We Meet Our Desired Outcomes? Use motion detector to build an understanding of motion graphs. Predict and measure motion from a graph. Calculate speed from a graph.

7. How does the motion detector work? What is on the Y (vertical) axis? What is on the X (horizontal) axis?

8. What is the position at _______ seconds? What is the distance at _________ seconds?

9. If speed is m/s or distance/time, how do you determine speed from a graph?
