Students examine Newton's Law of Motion and use the formula to calculate speed.  In this laws of motion lesson students create a balloon powered car and calculate its speed and distance. 

In this motion worksheet, students determine the speed, velocity, or acceleration of various objects under certain conditions. This worksheet has 7 word problems.

In this motion worksheet, 8th graders will compare and contrast the travel time, speed, and distance of a slow moving object and a fast moving object.

In this math worksheet, students find the solution to the problems using the story of the Tortoise and The Hare. They solve the problem by checking the logic of the reasoning that the tortoise would win the race.

Students discuss how investigators solve a hit and run accident. In this physical science lesson, students recreate an accident scene using CEENBot. They collect data from the experiment and formulate conclusion.

Students investigate wind speed. In this wind instrument instructional activity, students build an anemometer to measure wind speed and discuss the importance of wind speed knowledge in various professions. 

Learners conduct toboggan time trials to investigate the variables that have the greatest effect on toboggan speed. In small groups, they develop a hypothesis to test and perform three trials on the toboggan run for each variable.

In this distance/rate/time problem, students find the amount of time a person could walk a given distance. Students are given the time it takes to walk on a moving walkway (both with and against the flow of traffic).

In this motion worksheet, students will read 8 statements about displacement and velocity and determine if the statement is true or false. Then students will fill in the blank for 8 statements on motion. Finally, students will compare...

In this road trip problem, students examine information about road trip and determine the constant rate necessary to travel a predetermined distance.   This one-page worksheet contains 1 problem.  The answer is provided.

Pupils 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.

Students calculate the speed, motion and distance of a projectile. For this geometry lesson, students obtain measurements while calculating velocity. They graph their results and make predictions.

Students use the reaction time to figure out problems. They use the following example to get them started with reaction time: the edge of a ruler is placed near a person's thumb and index finger and, without warning, the ruler is...

In this motion worksheet, students will match 5 physics vocabulary words relating to motion with their definitions. Then, they will review 9 statements of different motion scenarios to determine is the statement is true or false....

Students examine the aerodynamics of a wing and how it generates lift.  In this flight lesson students complete several experiments including how to build a paper plane and how airfoils affect performance.

In this significant figures worksheet, students read about how to determine the number of significant figures and how to solve problems using significant figures. Then students complete 12 problems.

In this geography skills instructional activity, students read 5-travel scenarios and use their problem solving skills to respond to 9 short answer questions.

In this speed worksheet, students use dominoes to measure the average speed of rows falling over. Students make a line graph to show the relationship between the length of the domino row and the time. Students answer 8 questions about...

Ninth graders research weapons of the Aboriginal people and throw a dart with and without the use of an atlatl. In this cross curricular lesson, 9th graders research the weapons of the Aboriginal people. They throw darts with and without...

In this Olympic bar graph worksheet, students pick a sport from the 2004 Olympic games and find data from the Olympic web page. They graph the scores (times, distance, or speed) and the medals. They answer questions about the variables...

In this secondary mathematics worksheet, students must determine which of two cars arrives in Cincinnati first.  The information about one car is given in terms of distance and information on the other is in terms of...

Students study the concepts of motion, velocity, and acceleration through graphing their own movement using LoggerPro. They explain the difference between speed and velocity using the weather vane example. They discover the difference...

Students investigate the engineering design process and the relationship between distance, time, and speed. Using a generic car base, small groups design a device that will protect an egg on or in the car as it is rolled down a ramp at...

Students focus on a force and motion problem, explore it, reflect on it and apply it while completing experiments.  In this motion lesson, students experiment with force and motion by creating a track for testing cars.
