Motion Graph Analysis (PS.8a)

Learning Targets:​

• apply the concepts of speed, velocity, and acceleration when describing motion  ​

• compare the speed of two or more objects  ​

• make apply mathematical thinking to calculate and analyze speed​

• analyze and interpret data in tables related to motion

​

​PS.8 The student will investigate and understand that work, force, and motion are related. 
Key ideas include: ​

a) motion can be described using position and time
