Comparing Distance/Time Graphs to Speed/Time Graphs
In this graphing the motion of objects worksheet, students compare graphs of distance vs. time and speed vs. time of objects moving at constant speed, accelerating, slowing down, and stopped. Students identify the movement of a car given...
Curated OER
Weight, Friction, Equilibrium
For this weight worksheet, students review the equation for solving for the force of weight and review the kinds of friction. Students complete 10 matching, 7 fill in the blank, and 8 problems to solve.
Curated OER
Bug Race
In this motion activity, students compare two graphs showing a bug's distance traveled over time. Students calculate the average speed of the bugs and determine which bug was traveling at a constant speed. This activity has 1 short...
Curated OER
Position vs. Time and Velocity vs. Time Graphs
In this constant velocity worksheet, young scholars use data of position vs. time of a roller-skater to determine speed, acceleration, or deceleration at different points along the path. Students rank graphs according to average velocity...

Historical Perspectives
Twelfth graders watch episodes of Star Trek and analyze the works of it that pertain to the theory of relativity. In this creative lesson students also write and illustrate a children's book about the special theory of relativity.
Curated OER
Speed and Distance
In this speed worksheet, students create time vs. distance graphs to answer questions about average speed, average velocity, and acceleration. This worksheet has 3 problems to solve.
