If the speed of light remains a constant then time and distance change. Oh, it can be confusing! This text will help clear up the confusion. Discussion questions should serve to reinforce comprehension.and exercises

In this introduction to motion activity, students will get a personal understanding of speed and acceleration by experiencing it firsthand. Wheeled office chairs or other cart like devices are used to give one student a ride as a fellow...

What is speed? What is velocity? Illustrated discussion of speed and velocity including how they are measured.

In this activity, you will create a picture of time and speed as they relate to changes in the weight of a radio controlled race car. This picture will be a graph - a mathematical model- that allows to you predict the speed of your radio...

This game is designed to help students mentally figure out distances, speeds or time for objects moving at constant speed. A video will help with use of the program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nWhvhO6pXo&feature=youtu.be

Given diagrams, data, or scenarios, students will calculate average speed using distance and time measurements.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Definition of speed and its SI unit, instantaneous speed and how to calculate average speed and distance or time from speed.

At the 2010 NFL draft, NFL Network anchor Rich Eisen was dared to run the 40-yard dash. The 40-something reporter in a suit was no match for the 22-year-old NFL draft prospects. Eisen's colleagues put together this segement mocking his...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Understand how to evaluate data presented in graphs based on speed and velocity calculations.

This lesson focuses on how to calculate average speed and distance traveled. It also explains how to convert different units of measure and provides a link to an assessment.

This task it is an exploration of the relationship between speed, distance, and time. An understanding average speed gives an opportunity to address common confusion between average speed and the average of the speeds for the two...

Eighth graders are presented with the graphs of two cars traveling. One shows distance from home versus time and the other shows speed versus time. Students are to write a description of what might be happening during each car's...

This PBS site is a classroom activity that takes a trip to a black hole. Students apply calculations on distance, velocity, acceleration, time, circular motion, density, and more.

In this lesson on distance-time graphs, middle schoolers will understand graphing by analyzing distance-time graphs.

This lesson will explain what speed is, including the difference between average speed and instantaneous speed, showing how to calculate both. It will also show the common units used to represent speed. It is 2 of 2 in the series titled...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How motion and speed can be represented by a distance-time graph and how average speed can be calculated from it.

Young scholars will make go-carts and measure the velocity, then change one variable and see how the velocity changes. They will learn about the equation speed = distance divided by time and practice using it.

In past times, ocean navigators tossed a piece of wood over the side of their ships and noted how long until the ship passed the wood. They used this time measurement and the length of the ship to calculate their speed and estimate how...
