Velocity-Time Graphs

Before Class Preparation:

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 Motion Sensors to investigate v-t graphs
  • Pear Deck discussions for motion

After Class Work:

  • Read & take notes on this Powerpoint if you like taking notes
  • Card Sort: Motion Detector d-t graphs
  • CK12: Velocity-time graphs

Introduction to Motion

Before Class Preparation:

In Class Activity:

  • Buggy/Pull Back Car Activity
    • Describe the difference between uniform & non-uniform motions
    • Explain how you would predict the position of the object, 1.0 s after your last measurement
  • Assessment Criteria (Thinking/Inquiry):

After Class Work:

Graph Conversion Card Sort

Before Class Preparation:

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
  • Make sure this worksheet is completed
