• At home, using a tape measure and stopwatch (given in class) to walk out different movements along a straight line. Describe the motion in three ways:
  • Verbally (example: Started at zero, walked forward 2m in 3seconds,  stopped for 2 seconds, etc…)
  • With a motion diagram.
  • With a position vs. time graph.

For any time period where you are moving, calculate your velocity. You must have at least 4 parts to the motion.
