Motion Graphs

Activity Overview

Students will be able to explore distance/time graphs and velocity/time graphs. The graphs will be presented to the entire class through TI-Navigator™. Students will then take CBL 2™'s and calculators and create their own graphs (which are assigned to them). Students will then come back and present their graph to the class

Before the Activity

Please see the attached Word .doc for more details for this activity.
