Students investigate speed, time and distance. In this algebra lesson plan, students utilize their knowledge of linear equations to solve problems related to time, speed and distance. This assignment is hands on using two toy race cars.

Third graders fly miniature airplanes to discover characteristics related to velocity and average speed. After measuring the time and distance of their flights, 3rd graders calculate the average velocity of their planes.

Students determine which wind-up toy is the fastest. However, they can NOT race the toys. They must find another way. On the first day of the activity, students work in pairs or small groups to develop and write a plan.

Young Newtons solve nine momentum problems on a physics homework assignment. They tell which moving object has more momentum, compute average force, determine velocity, and more. Using this resource, you can assess your physics pupils'...

Learners time battery operated cars over a set track and determine the velocity of each type of car. They use the cars as manipulatives to demonstrate word problems involving velocity.

Young scholars are introduced to the concepts of impulse and momentum and problem solving strategies for these types of problems. In groups, they discover the law of conservation of momentum and share their answers with the class.

Students relate algebra to real life scenario. In this algebra lesson, students design a plan to help traffic flow smoothly using velocity and speed. This assignment is done using Microsoft Excel.

In this math worksheet, students analyze a path around a circle. The interval is defined. Students sketch a graph of a given parametric curve. Five application problems give students practice using these concepts in real life situations.
