Adventure 8 – Review of DiVA Charts

In this adventure, you will bring together everything you have learned so far. You will review the rules for derivatives and antiderivatives, the power Rule and Product and Chain Rulesand then use graphs of motion to read distance, velocity, and acceleration like a story.

📜 Read the Story (or Listen)

The Layer That Changed the World - The Extinction of Dinosaurs

📖Open the story page

A thin layer of clay—barely visible—revealed one of the biggest events in Earth’s history. Scientists learned to read that layer and uncover the story of the dinosaurs’ extinction.Motion leaves behind a similar “layer.” When you stack distance, velocity, and acceleration together, you get a clear record of how something moved. Learn to read that layer, and motion stops being confusing—and starts to make sense.

🧩 What you will do

✏️Activity 1: Review of Power rule, derivatives and antiderivatives, and the chain and product rules.

Switch gears between breaking things apart and building them back up. See how derivatives and integrals work like opposite moves that undo each other.

✏️Activity 2: Review of DiVA Charts

Explore the relationship between position, velocity, and acceleration graphs. Learn to interpret the area under curves and the slope of tangent lines to understand motion. This is the review of DiVA Charts from previous adventures.
