This is a set of homework questions (with answers) developed for use with the PhET simulation "The Moving Man". It assesses student understanding of position, velocity, and acceleration graphs. It was designed to be implemented in cooperative learning groups. Most of the questions are in multiple-choice format, with a few requiring short written responses. Originally developed for use in in large-enrollment classes, this resource is also appropriate for algebra-based high school physics.
Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.4, Java WebStart of Java. Additional context for this material is provided by the ComPADRE-SERC Pedagogic Service. Editor's Note: A solution key is available at no cost to teachers who provide credentials to the PhET project. Contact information is provided on the web page.
