1.
5. Entry task: Graphing activity: Match the graph
with the description with the table and equation as
a group. Write down the correlating letter and
number on your sheet.
Physics Concept and Vocabulary
Physics Concept: I can use
graphs to show velocity vs
time.
Vocabulary: motion
detector, Frame of
reference
Using the Calculator with motion Detector
Plug in calculator
Attach motion detector into port
Turn on calculator
Press purple APP button
Select Easy Pro
It should automatically be reading distance
Test out different motions to see what it reads Use a
white board in front of you to help the motion
detector read your movement.
8. To make distance/time graph, press start and the
“ok”, you should hear it clicking

Make the graphs
1. After your motion ends, the clicking will stop and
the graph will show up
2. Go to analyze #7 select the correct region by
moving left and right cursors
3. Go to plot button and select velocity graph
4. Go to Analyze select linear fit to see your velocity
vs. time
