Big Ideas
- Distance-time graphs provide a visual way to analyze how objects move over time.
- Understanding how to interpret and create distance-time graphs is essential for describing and predicting motion.
Essential Questions
- How can you use a distance-time graph to describe the motion of an object?
- What does the slope of a distance-time graph tell you about the speed of an object?
- How can you collect and organize data to represent an object's motion?
- Why is it important to accurately measure and record distance and time when studying motion?
- What patterns can you identify in distance-time graphs that show constant, increasing, or decreasing speed?
