The problem you uploaded involves a scenario where a goat moves in various stages—running, climbing, and jumping—which is represented by four graphs showing the height of the goat above the ground over time.

The goat’s actions are described as:
1. Running in a circle on the ground (constant height at 0 feet),
2. Climbing slowly onto a low platform (increasing height),
3. Stepping up to a higher platform (another increase in height),
4. Prancing for a while (maintaining height),
5. Jumping down back to the ground (sudden drop to 0 feet).

The graph that matches this scenario should:
- Start at 0 feet (on the ground),
- Show a gradual increase (climbing the low platform),
- Another increase (higher platform),
- A flat section at the top (prancing),
- A sharp decrease back to 0 feet (jumping down).

From the options, the first graph (top-left) best fits this description, as it shows:
- A steady increase in height,
- A second increase,
- A period of constant height,
- And a quick drop to the ground at the end.

Let me know if you'd like further explanation or if you have more questions!

Here are some related questions you might find helpful:
1. How would the graph change if the goat climbed the platform faster?
2. What does a flat section in a height-time graph represent?
3. How can we describe the motion represented by a downward slope in the graph?
4. How would the graph look if the goat didn't jump down but instead climbed down slowly?
5. Can you think of another real-life scenario that could be represented by a similar graph?

**Tip**: When analyzing graphs, pay attention to changes in slope and flat sections to understand speed and constant motion or rest.

At the petting zoo, Gabby watches a small goat as it plays on the goat playground. The goat runs in a circle on the ground, slowly climbs a ramp to a low platform, takes a step up to a higher platform, and prances for a few moments. Then, it jumps back down to the ground. Which graph could show the height of the goat above the ground over time?
