In this speed and acceleration worksheet, students complete math word problems having to do with speed and acceleration. Students complete 13 problems.

Simply find the slope to find the average rate of change. A short video provides the definition of the average rate of change. Using the definition, pupils calculate the average rate of change to solve problems that cover finding average...

All the main concepts in motion and force are covered in this presentation.  Each slide is a great summary and will appeal to your students with a clean design and images that should seem relevant.  Definitions of speed,...

Really neat! Kids choreograph a dance phrase and then measure the distance and speed of the phrase using a timer and a meter stick. They collect the data on a table which they use to determine an average. A series of observation and...

Students determine speed by running or walking a given distance and dividing the distance by the time it took them to do so. They record their average speed and compare it with the speeds of other moving objects.

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

Students investigate speed. In this rate of change lesson, students complete a rate/time/distance table to determine the average m.p.h. of a given trip. They listen and follow along with the lecture and examples to determine the average...

In this pre-calculus learning exercise, students calculate the velocity of a linear graph by observing the slope of a line. There are 10 velocity questions.

Students study stream speed.  In this stream speed lesson students complete an activity and formulate an opinion and study its effects.

For this speed of a galaxy worksheet, students use a given equation for the speed of an object and they use the spectral lines for Hydrogen Alpha and Beta from the Seyfert galaxy to answer 6 questions. They determine the observed...

Patterns are extremely helpful when solving a puzzle. Young scholars attempt to find times a bus will pass each stop. They identify a pattern in the known stop times to identify the solutions.

Explore functions with non-constant rates of change. The first installment of a 12-part module teaches young mathematicians about the concept of a function. They investigate instances where functions do not have a constant rate of change.

Learners explore logic and use Geometer’s Sketchpad and patterns of logic to solve a puzzle.

Students investigate how weight affects a parachute's rate of fall.  In this investigative lesson students test parachutes, average results and conclude what makes a faster descent.

In this Saturn worksheet, students use a photograph of a hexagon feature on Saturn to solve three problems. These include finding the time it takes for the jet stream to complete one circuit around the hexagon, to find the size of the...

Students find the circumference of various round objects.  In this finding the circumference of various round objects instructional activity, students find the circumference of the Earth.  Students find the circumference of...

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

Young scholars solve uniform motion problems using formula d = rt.
