Title Force and Motion activity 2: Relating graphs and free body diagrams using Moving Man and Forces 1D (Inquiry Based)
Description This activity requires that the students have done Predicting Speed and Direction activity that I wrote. The students will use the simulations to learn the goals through an inquiry approach.There are clicker questions provided and the objective test questions from which the clicker questions were dervied. Learning Goals: Students will be able to:Use free body diagrams to draw position, velocity, acceleration and force graphs and vice versa & Explain how the graphs relate to one another & Given a scenario or a graph, sketch all four graphs
