Velocity Shift Slides
A visual presentation for undergraduate physics on velocity-time graphs. It covers the definition of acceleration as the slope (derivative) of velocity, distinguishing between speeding up and slowing down, and the relationship between signs of v and a.
Motion Mimic Lab
A hands-on laboratory activity where students use motion detectors to match specific velocity-time graph shapes. Focuses on physical movement, data collection, and interpreting acceleration as the change in motion.
Motion Mimic Guide
Instructor's guide for the Motion Mimic lab. Includes pacing suggestions, specific prompts to deepen student understanding, and a guide to identifying and correcting common misconceptions in kinematic graphing.
