Young scholars relate math to real life scenarios. In this geometry activity, students launch a ball tracking each launch using a graph. They analyze their data for speed, angles and distance, trying to improve on each launch.

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...

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...

You won't find yourself racing the clock on such a great task. Scholars use video information to predict the time left on a crosswalk signal after a pedestrian crosses. The video shows the time left on the counter, and individuals must...

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...

In this math worksheet, learners answer 7 questions having to do with graphing derivatives of functions, rectilinear motion, speed and distance.

In this acceleration worksheet, learners solve 14 problems including finding work done on an object, the speed of an object, the distance traveled and the acceleration.

Students conduct a webquest on an energy source they chose. In this physics lesson, students design an experiment to determine the factors affecting potential and kinetic energy. They calculate speed and create distance vs. time graphs.

Students study speed and learn how to calculate it.  In this investigative lesson plan students participate in an activity that shows them how to calculate speed then they fill out a worksheet.

In this physics worksheet, learners complete a lab activity and record their results in the charts shown. They calculate the speed for each trial using the total time and total distance. Students also graph their results.

Students investigate speed as an important variable regarding force of an impact. Students roll a car down a ramp and into a block of wood. The distance the car travels, the time until impact and the distance the block moves are...

In this speed formula and scientific method worksheet, students read over descriptions of the formula an method. Students then respond to 12 matching, problem solving and short answer questions.

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...

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).

Students determine how speed is measured. In this physics lesson, students design an experiment to find out if the robot's drive wheel size affects its speed. They collect data and discuss results.

Students explore the concept of the formula for distance. In this formula for distance lesson plan, students time battery operated cars with constant velocity over 15 meters. Students use the distance = rate x time formula to determine...

Students find the length of the arc of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the length of an arc and find the measure of the central angle given the length of the arc. They convert between linear and angular speed. They...

Learners explore hurricanes and tornadoes by conducting an experiment. In this weather pattern lesson, students define many extreme weather vocabulary terms and discuss the relationship with static electricity. Learners utilize plastic...

Fourth graders complete an experiment on calculating speed.  For this speed calculation lesson students complete an activity in which they have dominoes fall as slow as possible. 

In this motion worksheet, 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 worksheet has 1 short...

Students construct a car based on directions given. In this physics instructional activity, students calculate average speed using distance and time information. They collect data and create a graph of distance vs. time.

Students calculate the distance a car travel using CEEBoT. In this algebra lesson, students apply the distance formula to real life scenarios. They use a measuring tape and a formula to measure the distance the ceebot travels.

Pupils examine the phenomenon of sounds traveling slower than light. They discover why they see things before they hear them and how to estimate the speed of sound as homework.

Students calculate the speed and length of parts of the robot. In this algebra lesson, students measure the length of robots legs. They calculate the time it takes the robot to travel a specific distance.
