Being able to "read" graphs and interpret them.

Being able to explain the interrelationships between graphs.

Can you describe this motion?

Look at the distances in between every photo. 

What can you tell me about the vertical and horizontal motion?

SIMULATION

Every photo of the car resembles a moment in time.

When these photos are taken every second, the distance in between the photos will tell you something about the change in speed in that timeframe.

Find the right combinations.

The next three pages will show different graphs for three categories: a s-t graph, a v-t graph and a a-t graph.

You need to find out which three graphs belong together. So for each s-t graph you need to find the matching v-t and a-t graph.

Which combinations did you find?
