Dimensional Analysis and Metric Conversions; 

A few students explored the following graphs:

 Motion Diagram  Position/Time graph  Velocity Graph 

GIVEN: a fast and slow car

Then, as a class, we explored the concepts of velocity, y-intercept, slope of the line on a positon vs time graph.

End of class to ponder under tomorrow...CHALLENGE: What does a negative slope mean on a position vs time graph?
