Speed and velocity, speed as distance over time; acceleration; distance-time and velocity-time graphs

make measurements of distances and times, calculate speeds, and make and use graphs of these to determine the speeds and accelerations involved

relate changes and differences in motion to appropriate distance-time, and velocity-time graphs, and interpret lines and slopes (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d)
