A motion and graphing lab for ages 10-15. Watch It Move animates a cart on a track while a distance-time graph draws itself live and a motion diagram drops a dot each second, across Steady Speed, Speeding Up, Slowing Down, and Stop and Go presets (slope = speed; flat = stopped). Graph Match runs 6 alternating rounds matching motions to graphs and graphs to motion descriptions. Speed Reader gives 4 rounds computing speed = distance divided by time from two marked points on a graph, with the rise/run triangle shown.
