WS - Distance-Time Graphs

Distance-time graphs show how far an object travels over a period of time. A straight diagonal line indicates constant speed, while a horizontal line means no movement. Examples are given of graphs matching descriptions of movement. Readers are asked to draw a graph for an otter's swimming and drifting.

and drifts along 50 m in 20 s. The otter then relaxes on the riverbank for 10 s.
