This lesson went pretty well. I let the kids work on their own and it took two days. I had to help them with the graphs, though. They didn't understand that they had the position/time on the top one and the speed/time on the bottom one. They also didn't understand that they should have three lines on each graph.
I had colored pencils available for them for the graphs. It made it much easier.
I went around to each table for "check off" and discussed question #12. It seemed that each table understood the graphs, but could do better describing the lines in terms of "slope." Some groups that got confused, we discussed what a graph would look like if had a car going down the highway if we were going at a constant speed. That seemed to help, especially with the speed graph.
The shortcut CTRL+L didn't seem to work for some computers (?) but you could still use the drop down menu to save the latest run. FYI.
