Find the Speed of a Protist
Young scholars identify protists under a microscope, and using a stopwatch calculate the speed of a protist from a pond water sample. They use distance and time to identify the speed of a protist, and create a distance versus time graph...
Balanced Assessment
On Averages and Curves
Determine the average on a curve. The class finds graphical representations of averages and expresses them both symbolically and on the graph. The assessment requires class members to justify using average to describe graphs.
Curated OER
Speed and Acceleration
For this speed and acceleration worksheet, students solve 4 problems where they find the average velocity of a moving object, the acceleration of a moving object, the distance a moving object travels and the time a falling object takes...
