LAB Velocity Graph Matching

The document describes a challenge to replicate velocity-time graphs by walking in front of a motion detector. Participants are instructed to sketch a graph on screen with at least 3 segments, describe how to walk to match each segment, and repeat for a second graph. The goal is to interpret and draw graphs of constant velocity motion.
