1. Warm-up Get your green folder Make sure you have at least two pages of notebook paper in your brads If you don’t add some Label the new sheet “Motion Graph Notes”

2. Engage: Walking Man

3. Motion Graph Notes

4. Interpret The Graph Below:

5. The graph shows an object which is not moving (at rest). The distance stays the same as time goes by because it is not moving.

6. Interpret The Graph Below:

7. The graph shows that the object’s distance increases as time passes. The object is moving and so it has speed. The straight line shows it is at constant speed (not changing).

8. Interpret The Graph Below:

9. The curve in the graph shows that the objects speed is changing as time passes. This is called acceleration.

10. Interpret The Graph Below:

11. The object moves at a constant speed a certain distance. The object stops moving (is at rest). The object moves again at constant speed.

12. Interpret The Graph Below:

13. The object is moving at a constant speed. This would be like driving a car on cruise control.

14. Interpret The Graph Below:

15. The object is increasing in speed over time. It is accelerating or speeding up.
