Multiple-choice quiz Photo credit: Edu Wagtelenberg Photo credit: ? 2007 Jupiterimages Corporation Teacher notes This multiple-choice quiz could be used as a plenary activity to assess students’ understanding of calculating the speed from the gradient of a distance–time graph. Teacher notes This multiple-choice quiz could be used as a plenary activity to assess students’ understanding of calculating the acceleration from the gradient of a speed–time graph. Photo credit (top left): Steve Ford Elliott Photo credit (bottom right): Philip MacKenzie Teacher notes Students could be asked why the non-SI ‘mph’ is the most common unit used when talking generally about speed. Relevant points include the UK’s historical use of miles as the unit of distance, and the use of mph on speed limits. Teacher notes This animated graph is the same as the one shown at the end of the activity on the previous slide, and introduces the idea that the gradient of distance–time graphs can provide qualitative information about the speed of an object. Students should be made aware that non-uniform (variable) speed i
