Graphs are really important for helping Year 8 students understand force and motion.

Let’s break it down:

1. Distance-Time Graphs:

   • This type of graph shows how far you travel over time.
   • If the line is straight, it means you’re moving at a constant speed.
   • The slope, or steepness, of the line tells us how fast you are going. We can find speed using this formula:
     • Speed = Distance ÷ Time.

2. Velocity-Time Graphs:

   • This graph shows how your speed changes over time.
   • The space under the line on this graph tells us how far you have moved.
   • If the line is flat, it means your speed is steady. If it’s steep, it means you’re speeding up.

These graphs make it easier for students to see and understand how motion works in different situations.
