Directions: Read this story and create a graph that you think goes along with the movement.
I left my desk at 1:00 and traveled to the trash can to spit out my gum. Along the way I stopped at 1:01 to pick up a pencil that was on the floor. I stood
up and started talking to my BFF, then 3 minutes at 1:04, my science teacher.
told me to return to my desk immediately. I was in
my seat at 1:04 and 30 seconds. I began writing my force and motion notes attentively until 1:06, when I started snapping the gum I never threw away.
This noise caused my science teacher_
to yell out, "Throw that gum away now!' I got up from my desk at 1:07 and traveled to the
trash can in 30 seconds to spit out my gum. At 1:08 I started back to my desk at 1:08 and 30 seconds I tapped my BFF on the head. It took me only 15
seconds to get to my seat before my teacher saw me.

Directions: Using the graph above, complete the following.
1. Label Points A-K on your graph. A point is where there is a change in direction, slope, or time interval. Example A is at 1:00
2. Between which points has motion stopped?
3. At what points are you moving towards your desk?
4. At what points are you moving away from your desk?
5. Which interval shows the least amount of distance traveled in the greatest amount of time?
6. Which 2 intervals covered the same amount of distance within the same amount of time; or which 2 intervals are equal in distance and
time?
7. Thinking of distance and time and remembering slope, which interval covers the greatest amount of distance in the least amount of time
