Create trigonometric functions from circles. The first lesson of the module begins by finding coordinates along a circular path created by a Ferris Wheel. As the lessons progress, pupils graph trigonometric functions and relate them to...

A slide show with three accompanying video lesson segments illustrating the difference between speed and velocity, and demonstrating how to calculate average speed and velocity. [6:31]

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Using mathematic equations for speed and velocity students will breakdown one dimensional motion.

This resource provides flexible alternate or additional learning activities for students learning about the concepts of distance, speed, and acceleration.

This lesson focuses on motion including definitions, how to calculate the change in velocity and the average acceleration, and a link to an assessment.

What do you think of when you hear the word motion? Are you moving right now? You may not think so, but you are. Remember, the Earth is moving around the Sun, and the Sun is moving around the Milky Way Galaxy. Everything in the universe...

In this lesson, you will learn about position vs. time graphs and velocity vs. time graphs and how to use them to solve problems.

A learning module where students gain an understanding of the relationships between the different kinds of motion. Students will be able to explain free-fall motion and use kinematics equations to calculate problems involving falling...

This lesson from the Glenbrook South High School gives a nice review and detailed explanation of velocity, speed, distance, displacement, and acceleration. A good introduction to the "language of Kinematics."

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] An online chapter focused on motion and the shapes it takes. Topics range from speed and velocity to acceleration and free fall. Find detailed visuals, learning...

By the end of this section, you will be able to define arc length, rotation angle, radius of curvature, and angular velocity; and to calculate the angular velocity of a car wheel spin.

Given descriptions, illustrations, graphs, charts, or equations, students will differentiate between speed, velocity, and acceleration.

Students will distinguish between and/or interpret the types of motion.

Given diagrams or scenarios, students will measure and graph changes in motion.

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 lesson focuses on Newton's First Law: an object remains in the same state of motion unless a resultant force acts on it. If the resultant force on an object is zero, this means: a stationary object stays stationary; a moving object...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students investigate and analyze characteristics of waves, including velocity, and calculate the relationship between wave speed, frequency, and wavelength.

The mathematics associated with the motion of satellites is described. Equations (for period, velocity, acceleration and force) are stated, symbols described, and sample problems solved. Includes five practice problems with solutions and...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students solve problems involving displacement, distance, velocity, speed, and acceleration, and then explore problems and graphs involving one-dimensional motion.

[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 introduces the concept of instantaneous velocity without the use of calculus. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Instantaneous Velocity."

Using only two of our fundamental units, time and displacement students will build a framework to predict the motion of objects, starting with one dimensional motion.

[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.
