Calculating and Graphing Speed Quick Assessment

I use this to quickly assess students understanding of Distance vs. Time Graphs and a Speed Investigation that they do every year. It is often difficult to grade over 100 students' lab papers, so I occasionally do an assessment like this, allowing them to use their original lab paper for additional help if they need it.

In this 4 page PDF, students are given a data set. They must calculate the average speed and graph the two sets of data. After that, they answer questions over the graph so that I can assess their understanding of distance/time graphs.
