published by the The Science House: NC State University
This lab activity uses computer operated motion detectors and software  to generate motion graphs. Students provide the data by walking in front of the motion detector, or rolling balls. Questions are provided to help the students explore the motion concepts. There are also questions asking students to predict the motion graphs before running the experiment. No calculations are needed.
