Students perform unit conversion. In this algebra lesson plan, students calculate the distance and speed of a solar car. They graph their result as speed versus distance and analyze it.

In this physics worksheet, students 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.

In this motion learning exercise, students will write in motion vocabulary words including velocity and speed to complete 7 statements. Then students will calculate average speed and velocity in three short answer questions.

Students calculate the revolution and circumference of circles. In this calculus lesson, students derive the formulas for their given shape. They use the d=rt to calculate the distance and rate of travel.

Which is faster, a Ford or a Ferrari? The short assessment has pupils analyze graphs to determine the rates of change between the two. Individuals interpret the rates of change within the context of speeds of the cars and develop a map...

Drive home math concepts with an engaging task. Learners follow a verbal description to fill in a table and create a distance-time graph representing a car journey. They then answer questions by interpreting the graph.

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...

And he's ... safe? ... out? It's up to your scholars to decide! Provided with the speed of the runner and ball, learners develop a plan to determine which reaches the base first, the ball or the runner. While the distance from home to...

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...

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.

Students use a migration map to estimate the distance traveled by a bird while migrating south. After calculating accurate estimates of the distance traveled, students compare the distances traveled with the amount of time elapsed.

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 distance worksheet, students 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 speed worksheet, students calculate the average speed of an object or the distance an object travels at a certain speed in 11 word problems.

Students 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.

In this distance worksheet, students solve equations involving square roots. They use the distance formula to solve four of the ten problems. 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.

Students study the basic concepts of the Global Positioning System and how it increases the accuracy of navigation. They examine trilateration and how the speed of light is used to calculate distances.

In this distance and rate activity, learners determine the length of time it takes to average a given miles per hour.  This one-page activity contains 1 problem.  The answer is provided at the bottom of the page.

Students calculate the distance formula. In this geometry lesson, students find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane. They identify the four different quadrants.

In this conversions and rates learning exercise, students solve 10 different word problems that include using metric conversions and rates to solve each problem. First, they determine the number of milliliters needed for the correct...

In this scientific notation worksheet, students read about the discovery of new planets. They use scientific notation to identify the number of miles from one planet to the next. Students determine how long it would take to travel, when...

In this equation of a line worksheet, students determine the equation of a line, use the distance formula to identify the relationship between two moving objects, and solve inequalities algebraically. This two-page worksheet contains...

Prior to beginning a math or physical science lesson on motion, use this presentation to define the concepts of motion, rate, velocity, and speed. This resource lacks concrete examples but could be useful as discussion starter.
