Distance-Time Graphs Station Lab New TEKS 7.7C

This modular, student-led activity is fully aligned with TEKS 2021 standard 7.7C and is designed to keep your middle schoolers engaged while exploring motion and distance-time graphs. With everything included, you’ll save a ton of prep time while giving students the chance to guide their own learning.

In this interactive lab, students will measure, record, and interpret an object’s motion using distance-time graphs through hands-on, written, visual, and digital activities.

Differentiated, Modular, and Student-Centered

Each lab includes nine stations that provide a personalized learning experience for every student. Teachers serve as facilitators while students work independently or in small groups to explore and apply new concepts.

All signage, readings, task cards, and resources are included. The Explore It! station may require a few simple classroom materials you likely already have on hand.
