Entire topic area
The following web site is a good overview of the entire topic. The concept map is
clickable and will give definitions of various terms. You could keep going back to
this at various times during this unit.

Another site that covers everything on the course and much much more. You
will need to click on chapters and areas that you wish to find information about

A good simple introduction to the topic with clickable links to various topics

Motion Graphs
This site has a good simulation of doing a position vs time graph just drag the
Bike backward and forward and see the graph generated. There are also some
additional things that you can do on this site if you click the various links

A good introduction to velocity time graphs. With some practice test questions

eleratedMotionVelocityTimeGraphs.xml
Another site about velocity vs time graphs.

Please download this one, run the simulation and click on the charts tab. It
shows the connection between the shapes of distance/velocity and acceleration
graphs. You can try all different types of motion and see what graphs are
generated.

Vectors
The following site is a good introduction to vectors and has some additional links.

/introductionVectors.html
This youtube video is also a good introduction to vectors but the last half goes
into more detail than we expect this year like vector components and resolving
vectors and multiplication.

Vectors and vector addition, click on the links at the end of the page. It also has
animations and practice tests. Some parts ie resolving vectors etc is a little
beyond what we expect this year.
