GraphMouseSim
The GraphMouseSim Interactive allows users to drag out a motion path with their mouse or finger (on a touch screen) and view a x-position vs. time and a y-position vs. time plot of the motion. Users can explore how the features of the motion are related to the characteristics of the graph.
Users are encouraged to open the Interactive and explore. There is no accompanying activity sheet for this Interactive
Learners and Instructors may also be interested in viewing the accompanying
Notes page. Technical information, teaching suggestions, and related resources that complement this Interactive are provided on the Notes page. View
