Interactive Elements / Activities
• Graph Drawing Task: Plot distance-time graphs for both uniform and non-uniform motion
using different sets of data.
• Motion Roleplay: Use stopwatches and measured paths—students walk/jog to
demonstrate uniform and non-uniform motion.
• Observation Task: Observe a moving vehicle or a person and record distance at regular
time intervals to determine type of motion.

Real-Life Application Examples
• Uniform Motion: A train moving steadily on a straight track.
• Non-uniform Motion: A car navigating through city traffic or a cyclist on a hilly road.
• Body at Rest: A parked vehicle or a person standing still.

Concept Extension (for curious minds)
• Speed from Graphs: Slope of a D-T graph gives speed.
• Acceleration (Basic Idea): If speed is changing over time, motion becomes accelerated-
can be visualized with curved graphs.
