Students watch a short video clip about a Driver's Ed teacher using a Corvette to teach students how to drive. In this lesson, students must try out their own ability to follow verbal directions to act out the motion of a car by finger-walking on their own paper track and comparing it to the motion displayed on a distance / time graph. Students also get guided practice by physically walking the motion displayed on a motion graph. An interactive motion program is used to allow students to familiarize themselves with graphical representation of motion. A student assessment includes a distance / time graph in which the motion must be interpreted.

This lesson covers the portion of Benchmark SC.6.P.12.1 that focuses on interpreting graphs. A lab collecting distance traveled and time is suggested, but not required to be completed first. This gives students multiple ways to practice the interpretation of motion graphs.
