An informative presentation covers motion, metric system, conversions, graphing of coordinates and lines, speed, velocity, and acceleration problems, as well as mean calculations. This is the first lesson in a 26-part series.

The cheetah is faster than Bolt. Class members watch a video of a cheetah and Usain Bolt run at record breaking speeds. The pupils come up with questions about the video. When asked, the teacher provides information relative to the...

In this rate of change worksheet, students read about how to calculate the rate of change in different processes such as plant growth. They are given example problems and practice calculating rates of change.

For this velocity worksheet, students determine the average velocity for given situations. They graph the distance traveled, and compute velocity at time intervals. This two-page worksheet contains eleven problems.

In this travel time and distance worksheet, students complete word problems dealing with travel time and distance with one and two digit numbers. Students complete 5 word problems.

Young scholars use the children's story of The Tortoise And The Hare in order to investigate the graphing of equations. The story is converted to an algebraic word problem for them to solve. Students investigate the relationships of data...

For this algebra worksheet, learners relate real world scenario to algebra. They use a mane to make choices when given a limited amount to spend. They complete a money maze and calculate the shortest distance between different cities.

In this science worksheet, students create a race track and mark each distance as stated. Then they perform each task and record the time it takes them for each. Students also record their data from the experiment into the chart...

Start your engines! Small groups collect data from websites pertaining to the Indianapolis 500 in order to determine average speed per lap and miles in each lap. The activity requires prior knowledge of the the formula d=rt.

The example of two travelers meeting somewhere along the road has been a stereotypical joke about algebra as long as algebra has existed. Here in this detailed presentation, this old trope gets a careful and approachable treatment....

Fifth and sixth graders practice working in pairs to determine whether they can walk with constant speed. They test themselves, collect their data, draw graphs with their data collected, manipulate the data, and then draw conclusions...

Snakes and lizards can be very tiny or very long. Your class will get out their rulers to see just how big snakes and lizards can be. They discuss several different reptiles by reading the included animal fact cards, then each small...

The learner must use the given constant speed to find the unit rate. A table is made in order to relate the speed to the time and the distance. From the table, learners are able to see the unit rate in miles per minute and miles per...

In this related rates worksheet, students are given various scenarios and determine the distance and rate of each situation. This two-page worksheet contains eight problems.

In this distance worksheet, high schoolers solve radicals. They read story problems, write equations, and compute the speed and or distance an object traveled. This one-page worksheet contains ten problems.

In this word problem worksheet, students solve twelve word problems discussing average speed or rate.  The solutions are provided.

In this watch worksheet, pupils read story problems and determine the change in the distance with respect to time. They compute the radians per second. This two-page worksheet contains nine multi-step problems.

Eight problems require general physics recruits to calculate acceleration or distance traveled. They read the situations involving cars and buses, running bears, downhill skiers, and a rock slide and then get to work. Provide this as a...

Your pupil's pet dog and bird are racing down the city streets. In order to know who is going to win, they better know something about calculating rates, the Pythagorean Theorem, and applying those topics to the map of the city. 

In this distance and rate worksheet, students read story problems, determine necessary information and write equations to solve problems. Most problems involve velocity. This one-page worksheet contains fourteen problems.

Slow and steady wins the race? In the assessment task, scholars calculate the rates at which different snails travel in order to find the fastest snail. Hopefully, your class will move much more quickly in finishing the task!

Teens often display potential energy in class and kinetic in the hallways. This third presentation covers the six types of energy, each in potential and kinetic form. It also covers the Law of Conservation of Energy and Einstein's...

Students explore speed by calculating the average speed of several snowmobiles, and predicting which of them is the fastest. They watch a race to verify their calculations.

Participate in a class lesson on ratio, rate, and unit rate. Successful usage of this lesson requires the pupils and the teacher have access to the Scott Foresman/Addison Wesley Middle School math text. However, the unit rate problems...
