Station #1: The CBR
Read the "Description of Distance
Graph" that I wrote in the worksheet.
Follow the directions for the rest of the
worksheet. Use the CBR to help you
discover the answers.

CBR, click

Station #2: The CBL
Set up the CBL according to the
directions.
Then have one member move around in front
of the sensor and see how the calculator
plots that member's distance. Use the
information toanswer the questions. If you
can't get a good plot for some reason,
answer based on how you think the
calculator should have plotted the
motion.
Station #3: The "Moving Man"
This station is different than the
other two. In order to do it, you need to
go to a website. The handout for this
station has a distance versus time plot in
the upper right hand corner. Answer
questions #1 and #2 before you move on.
Ask your partners for help if
necessary.
Now go to the "Moving
Man" website.
Try to move the man on the website
around in a way that your graph is close
to the one on the handout. You will find
that you can change the settings so the
the distance and time are kind of close to
what is in the picture (but the units will
be different). You can also have the
computer bring up a velocity vs. time plot
to check your answer to #2.
Finish the handout.
