Travel Graphs
This interactive excel program covers distance/time and velocity/time graphs.
The first interactive sheet shows a distance/time graph made of line segments and some questions relating to speed for each segment and the time when velocity is zero. The second sheet shows the journeys of two people.
The third sheet shows a velocity/time graph made of line segments and the questions relate to finding either the acceleration or the distance travelled for each segment. The final sheet shows a more realistic velocity/time graph and students need to use the trapezium rule to calculate an estimate for the distance travelled.
The resource also has seven sheets of printable sets of questions which may be suitable for use within the classroom.
