1. Exploring motion
Graphing

2. __________ Tells us the rate at which an object moves.
___________ Tells us the rate of speed or direction changes.
___________ Is a change in position measured by distance and time.
___________ Tells the speed and direction of a moving object.
A. Motion
B. Speed
C. Velocity
D. Acceleration

3. When we graph speed Time is always plotted on the X-Axis. ​
Distance is always plotted on the Y-Axis

4. What kind of graph will a non-moving object make?
Prediction
Label your graph
Make a prediction by drawing a line.
Distance in meters
Time in seconds

5. What kind of graph will a non-moving object look like?
Actual
Label your graph
Volunteer come to the front and stand still for 5 seconds.
Graph the distance traveled each second, then connect the dots.
Distance in meters
Time in seconds

6. Objects At Rest

Graph the distance traveled, then connect the dots.
Distance in meters
Time in seconds

13. The object (person) moving at a quick constant speed:
How far did the object (person) move?
14 meters?
Time is ___________ to the right.
increasing
Distance is ___________ constantly with time.
increasing
steeper
A ________ line means more distance was covered in a given time.
The object moves at _______________________ speed.
Constant quick

14. Let’s Review Which graph shows an object travelling at a faster speed?
How do you know?
This graph shows a faster moving object.
We know that because this is the steeper line.

15. What will a graph of an object that gets faster over time look like?
Speeding Up Object
Prediction
Label your graph
Make a prediction by drawing a line.
Distance in meters
Time in seconds

16. What will a graph of an object that gets faster over time look like?
Actual
Speeding Up Object
Volunteer start slow, then speed up across the room
Label your graph

17. The object speeding up over time:
How far did the object (person) move?
7 meters?
Time is increasing to the right.
Why is the line on the graph curved instead of straight?
It is not a _____________ or steady increase.
Because I am not going at a constant rate of speed
constant
This shows an increase in speed because the line is getting
more _________.
steep
accelerating.
The object is _______________________
