Area of VT Graphs

Before Class Preparation:

  • Print or make a copy of Areas and Averages handout
  • BYOD for Pear Deck

In Class Activity:

  • Analyse and interpret position–time, velocity–time, and acceleration–time graphs of motion in one dimension
  • Use the area under the curve to create position–time graphs from velocity–time graphs and velocity–time graphs from acceleration–time graphs)

After Class Work:

  • Edpuzzle: Area of Velocity-Time Graphs

Graph Conversion Card Sort

Before Class Preparation:

  • BYOD for Card Sort

In Class Activity:

  • Analyse and interpret position–time, velocity–time, and acceleration–time graphs of motion in one dimension
  • Use the tangents to convert position–time graphs to velocity–time graphs)
  • Card sorts in Google classroom:
    • Uniform Motion
    • Kinematics Graphs
  • Motion Graph Scavenger Hunt

After Class Work:

Speeding up or Slowing down?

Before Class Preparation:

In Class Practice:

  • Group work: Speeding Up or Slowing Down?
    • Use appropriate terminology related to kinematics: time, distance, position, displacement, speed,
      velocity, and acceleration
    • Analyze and interpret position–time, velocity–time graphs of motion in one dimension
    • Solve problems involving uniform and non-uniform linear motion in one and two dimensions, using graphical analysis
  • Summary of d-t and v-t graphs

After Class Work:

Velocity-Time Graphs

Before Class Preparation:

  • BYOD for Poll Time
  • Print & read Part A (Remember these are Velocity-Time Graphs) of this handout

In Class Practice:

  • conduct an inquiry into the uniform motion of an object
  • solve problems involving uniform linear motion in one dimension using graphical analysis
    • Using SmartCarts to investigate v-t graphs
  • PollEV discussions for motion

After Class Work:

  • Complete part C) of handout
  • Read & take notes on this Powerpoint if you like taking notes
  • Card Sort: d-t & v-t graphs
  • CK12: Velocity-time graphs
