Station 1: Explore It – Motion Storytelling
Mathematical Modeling & Representation
Develop an intuitive understanding of robot motion and how it can be represented visually.

Checklist
I connected a robot's movement to a graph.
I graphed a motion path based on a table of values.
I created a graph that shows what a pause looks like.
I created a graph that shows how accelerating or decelerating motion looks (a curved line).
I created a graph that shows how a change in direction looks (a line with a negative slope).
I interpreted a graph to understand the robot's movement.
I identified what the steepness of a line means.
I described a robot's motion in words just by looking at the shape of its graph.
I predicted what a graph would look like if a robot's motion were described in words.
