The “Exploring Slope and Speed” resource is a lab simulation and lesson plan in which students explore the relationship between the slope of a line and the speed of an object when the speed of the object is graphed on a coordinate plane as distance vs. time. It includes a student handout and teacher notes with a warm-up introduction, guided exploration, extension activities, and follow-up discussion. The accompanying simulation can be found here: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/graphing-lines
