Take a look at acceleration within the context of automotive technology. They vary the mass on a toy car and run it down a ramp, exploring Newton's second law of motion. Though this is a classic lab activity, you will appreciate the...

In this velocity worksheet, students read story problems, write equations and determine distance, velocity and time. They derive an equation for the function. This two-page worksheet contains seven multi-step problems.

Twelfth graders solve problems involving linear and angular speed. Using information about a compact disc, they solve the problem using multiple rates and conversion factors. Students also solve additional problems involving bicycle...

Determine just how far to run before dinner. The short assessment asks pupils to determine the distance a person can jog in the time left before dinner. To answer the question, scholars determine the distance if the person jogs one...

The speed of a dragonfly brings math into the real world as your learners collaboratively see the value in calculating unit rates in direct proportion problems. This six-phase lesson encourages you, as the teacher, to only ask questions...

How quickly does a plant transpire? Learners explore this question through measuring water uptake with a potometer. They time the movement of a bubble a set distance to understand the motion and rate of speed.

Discover a renewed appreciation for the highway transportation department. with a lesson that has scholars design a highway route that meets certain conditions, including traffic flow, curves, speed limits, financial costs, and...

What do you do to change arrival times of airplanes when a different route is not available? The fifth interactive in a series of six presents problems where pupils must find solutions to conflicts of safety rules. They must decide how...

The church that just can't stay put! A video presentation raises questions of just how far the church will move. Presented with the rate of movement and a range of time expected, scholars build an inequality to answer the question.

Explore linear and nonlinear models to help your class build their function skills. In a continuation of the previous lesson, learners continue to analyze and sketch functions that model real-world situations. They progress from linear...

Motion and force vocabulary words are concisely defined in this 13-slide PowerPoint. This is a great slideshow to review prior to a quiz for 5th or 6th grade science. Tip: Send this PowerPoint to your students so they can review it...

All the main concepts in motion and force are covered in this presentation.  Each slide is a great summary and will appeal to your students with a clean design and images that should seem relevant.  Definitions of speed,...

In this meter worksheet problem, students read a word problem and interpret a graph.  They use the derived information to determine time and distance.  This one-page worksheet contains 1 multi-step problem.  Answers are...

Twelfth graders rewrite word problems using equations. In this calculus instructional activity, 12th graders solve real world situation using the derivative. They solve problems on rate, and distance.

In this distance/rate/time problem, students find the amount of time a person could walk a given distance. Students are given the time it takes to walk on a moving walkway (both with and against the flow of traffic).

In this rate graphing worksheet, students graph four examples of rate vs. time. Then students complete 20 short answer questions.

Need a helping hand in Algebra I? How about a giant, super-sized worksheet packet? Here is a resource that has worksheets for virtually every concept with some accompanying examples. 

For this conversion factors worksheet, students read word problems, convert them to equations, and compute the answer.  They determine the distance between two points and find the cost to travel a predetermined distance. ...

In this distance and rate worksheet, learners determine the length of time it takes to average a given miles per hour.  This one-page worksheet contains 1 problem.  The answer is provided at the bottom of the page.

Students calculate a toy car's velocity and acceleration. For this force and motion lesson, students build ramps and attach a dropper to a toy car, which is released down the ramp. Students calculate and graph velocity and acceleration...

For this successive approximations worksheet, students use the Babylonian algorithm to determine the roots of given numbers. They identify the limits of a function, and compute the rate of change in a linear function. This two-page...

Students calculate the revolution and circumference of circles. In this calculus lesson, students derive the formulas for their given shape. They use the d=rt to calculate the distance and rate of travel.

View a PBS video entitled Horatio's Drive and explore Horatio's Ratios. Collaborative learners form groups to use Mapquest to determine distances covered. They generate the mathematical averages, ratios, and rates in order to calculate...

This lesson plan entails the viewing of two videos to get an overview of force and its application. The lesson plan covers how vectors use force in real-world situations.
