Looking for a lesson on vectors?  Here is a PowerPoint that has six examples for finding velocity, acceleration, speed and direction of motion. One of the examples demonstrates the use of the TI-89 Graphing Calculator to solve a...

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...

Mathematicians use a CBR 2™ motion detector to determine their speed or velocity going down a playground slide. They also experiment with different ways to increase their speed going down the slide. Finally, students complete the Student...

This lesson entails the viewing of two videos to get an overview of force and its application. The lesson covers how vectors use force in real-world situations.

Do curves slow runners down or help their speed? Pupils simulate a 200-meter dash to calculate the angular and linear velocity of a runner. They then determine whether the runner is faster around the curved section of the track...

Get things moving with this extensive collection of physical science resources. Covering the fundamentals of measurement, graphing, lab safety, and experimental design as well as the specific scientific concepts...

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

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.

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...

Pupils investigate integrals and their relationship to velocity in this calculus instructional activity. They use the idea of a moving elevator to explore vertical motion and use the TI to help them create a visual.

So this is the real test? The resource provides the free-response questions from the 2011 AP Calculus AB exam. The six questions are split into two sections, calculator and non-calculator items. Several resources give teachers...

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

Gotta catch them all—no learner left behind! Young scholars must predict the length of time it takes a phone attached to a fan to travel five kilometers given the radius and rotations versus time data. Why would you attach a phone to a...

In 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...

Take a trip back in time to examine angular velocity. Using the revolutions per minute, learners calculate the speed of a point on a 33 record. They compare the speed of a point on the edge of the record to the speed of a point closer to...

Pupils explore the concepts of velocity, acceleration, distance and football. They collect data on the velocity of a football and they determine the distance and height of a football when it is thrown. Students compare their findings...

In this differentiation worksheet, students determine the seconds of motion, identify the constant, and speed of movement. This two-page worksheet contains five multi-step problems.

High schoolers watch a video of real-world situations regarding speed, direction, velocity, force, etc. and answer questions while viewing. They then practice drawing and using vectors to solve more real-world problems.

Delve into the middle of calculus. The resource is the second eBook of three that covers the complete calculus content. Seven chapters begin with integrals and different methods of integration before moving on to differential equations....

Take another look at the exam. A set of questions is a different form for the 2004 AP® Calculus BC free-response question section. The questions are evenly split into calculator and non-calculator sections. Pupils use their knowledge of...

Students calculate the speed using metric measurements. In this geometry lesson, students calculate speed, distance and velocity using metric measurements. They gain inquiry and problem solving skills in this assignment.

In this integral worksheet, students geometrically estimate distance in given problems. They use the trapezoidal rule to determine definite integrals. Students explore distance and velocity. This three-page worksheet contains...

Students explore Newton's laws using CEENBoTs. In this physics activity, students collect data and create tables and graphs. They calculate speed, acceleration and forces using mathematical formulas.
