Analyzing Walker Motion Graphs

The video tutorial guides students through matching scenarios with graphs. It begins with an introduction to the materials needed, including a file folder with graphs and strips of paper. The teacher then walks through the process of analyzing the graphs for four different walkers, each with unique walking patterns. The tutorial emphasizes understanding constant speed, faster and slower motions, and interpreting graph lines to match the scenarios correctly.

What materials are required for the graph matching activity?

• A file folder, graphs, strips of paper, and notes

• A calculator, ruler, and pencil

• A textbook, notebook, and pen

• A computer, printer, and paper

What does a diagonal line on the graph represent in Walker 1's scenario?

• Acceleration

• Variable speed

• Deceleration

• Constant speed

How do you determine which graph shows a faster motion for Walker 1?

• The graph with the lower line

• The graph with the higher line

• The graph with the curved line

• The graph with the horizontal line

In Walker 2's scenario, what does the term 'same pace' indicate?

• Acceleration

• Constant speed

• Variable speed

• Deceleration

Which graph characteristic indicates a slower pace for Walker 2?

• A vertical line

• A horizontal line

• A less steep diagonal line

• A steeper diagonal line

What does a flat line on the graph represent in Walker 3's scenario?

• Stopping

• Walking

• Running

• Jumping

How long does Walker 3 stop according to the scenario?

• 20 seconds

• 5 seconds

• 10 seconds

• 15 seconds

In Walker 4's scenario, what does a steep diagonal line indicate?

• Slow walking

• Turning

• Stopping

• Fast walking

What pattern does Walker 4 follow in their walking scenario?

• Fast, slow, fast, slow

• Slow, fast, slow, fast

• Constant speed

• Stop and go

Which graph feature should you look for to match Walker 4's scenario?

• Curved lines

• Only flat lines

• Only steep lines

• Alternating steep and less steep lines
