Position, Velocity, Acceleration

Investigating the relationship between position, speed, and acceleration. This is meant to to help students connect the three conceptually to help solidify ideas of what the derivative (and second derivative) means. Students should have had some introduction of the concept of the derivative before they start. Note that this uses the Sketch feature and so is ideally suited to a tablet, though it can be used on a laptop as well. This is a bit long so you may want to give this to students as a take home assignment to be consolidated on the following day.
