Motion maps for me are higher, but that’s specifically for my 9th-grade physics classes and not my higher-level classes. In 9th grade, that’s our foundational diagram for our model of motion. We use motion maps (not P-t graphs … yet) to represent our constant-velocity buggy data. (1/3)

Later, we make motion maps out of Play Doh dots and a whiteboarded position axis, and then shift them over onto a perpendicular time axis to make our first P-t graphs. Yesterday, we did our paradigm lab on acceleration, and the very first thing they suggested we do is collect a motion map (2/3)

of the ball’s motion on the ramp. From those motion maps, they made a P-t graph. And then they placed a mini-photogate at each motion map dot, in turn, to collect data for a V-t graph. So motion maps are our touchpoint. For my higher-level classes (>9th), they can use graphs right away. (3/3)
