Do Now: Create this Distance-Time graph in your notes
Key Points for this Distance-Time graph:
DISTANCE-TIME GRAPHS
A distance-time graph tells us how far an object has moved with time.
The steeper the graph, the faster the motion.
A horizontal line means the object is not changing its position - it is not moving, it is at rest.
A downward sloping line means the object is returning to the start.
Draw this Speed-Time graph:
Key Points for a Speed-Time graph:
SPEED-TIME GRAPHS
A speed - time graph shows us how the speed of a moving object changes with time.
The steeper the graph, the greater the acceleration.
A horizontal line means the object is moving at a constant speed.
A downward sloping line means the object is slowing down.
Why it matters in THIS CLASS: Unit #1-2 Exam this Thusday, October 2, 2014.
BE PREPARED!
Why it matters in LIFE:We interact with velocity and acceleration every day. Understanding how to read graphical interfaces helps to develop your abstract reasoning skills.
By the end of the day today, IWBAT…• Analyze characteristics of graphs and interpret differences in velocity & acceleration.

TEKS: P.4A: Generate and
interpret graphs describing motion
including the use of real-time technology;
By the end of today, IWBAT…
Analyze characteristics of
graphs and interpret
differences in velocity &
acceleration.
Essential Question:How do we
read motion graphs that
show the position vs. time for an
object?

Graph Matching Activity
You have several graphs in front of you
Select the Information that accompanies each graph and match them together
Once you have the correct matches, you will create a notebook foldable to study
Graph Matching Foldable
On the Post-It Notes, draw the graph outline, then stick onto a piece of paper.
Underneath, write the important facts about the graph.
You can flip up the Post-Its when you study, checking the details for each graph underneath.
