published by the Physics Education Technology Project
written by Trish Loeblein

This is an inquiry-based module developed for use with the PhET simulation "The Moving Man". A PhET Gold Star winning resource, the module was created by a high school teacher to help students build skills in interpreting graphs of motion. It consists of multiple concept questions in downloadable Power Point format, pre-lab and post-lab student assessments, printable student guidelines, and a lesson plan for teachers.

SEE RELATED ITEMS BELOW for a link to "The Moving Man" simulation that accompanies this lesson plan.

Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.4, Java WebStart of Java.

Additional context for this material is provided by the ComPADRE-SERC Pedagogic Service.
