Return to the classic word problem with these speed scenarios. Learners use some combination of the variables speed, distance, and speed to solve six problems, all of which ask for one of these as an answer. The examples do a nice job of...

Challenge your fourth graders with these tricky word problems about speed. They use the formula for time, distance, and speed to solve six scenarios. There are three examples, each showing an instance when a different variable must be...

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...

If only there was a graph to show the distance traveled over a period of time. Given distance-time graphs, pupils read them to determine the answers to questions. Using the distance and time on a straight line, scholars calculate the...

In this speed, distance and time activity, students read statements and then mentally determine the speed, distance or time in a given problem. Answers are provided beside each question. This two-page activity contains 30 problems.

How fast is your class? Learners determine the amount of time it takes individuals to walk a given distance and calculate their speeds. Pupils solve distance, rate, and time problems using the formula and pay attention to the...

This is a stellar overview of everything light and quantum! There are 30 multiple choice questions, none of them requiring any mathematical computation. There are a few diagrams to analyze: light rays striking reflective and refractive...

Nineteen word problems dealing with frequency, speed, reflection, and refraction of light are provided here. Empower your physics masters to manipulate equations for computing angles, focal lengths, image heights, and more! This is a...

In this speed and distance worksheet, learners calculate the average speed of various items. They determine the speed of cars, trains, worms, and children running. Students also determine the amount traveled in a given period of time....

In these calculating speed, distance, and time worksheets, 6th graders review information, formulas, and examples, and solve word problems calculating average speeds, distance traveled, time taken, convert time measurements and speeds,...

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...

In this math worksheet, students read informational paragraphs and then answer 18 questions using data from their readings. Questions are about vectors, positions, distance and orbits.

Physics apprentices analyze the impact of NASA's Impactor as it collided with the comet Tempel 1 in July of 2005. They calculate the mass and speed of the comet, along with the distance it might drift off of its orbit over time. This...

In this graphing speed and time worksheet, young scholars answer 7 questions regarding graphing, speed, distance, derivatives, Newton's method and wheel radius.

A total of 29 word problems furnish practice in solving for work, energy, and force. A few of the questions display diagrams to help learners visualize the systems, and all of them list five choices from which they select the correct...

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...

Quiz those kids to assess what they've gleaned from your last lesson on Newton's laws of motion. There are 10 questions that have learners define force, acceleration, velocity, and speed. A bonus question has them write a motion story...

Determine the average on a curve. The class finds graphical representations of averages and expresses them both symbolically and on the graph. The assessment requires class members to justify using average to describe graphs.

Connect the tortoise and the hare fable to mathematics. Learners first identify key terms related to distance, rate, and time. They then solve distance/rate/time problems using different representations.

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

In this physics worksheet, students solve 6 problems where they calculate average speeds of moving objects, distance objects travel and time it takes for objects to get to their destination.

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

In this word problem worksheet, algebra learners solve 10 distance problems. Problems include motion in different directions, the same direction, and round trips.  

Rates per unit of time, unit rates, and the distance and lengths of trips are solved in this 18-question assignment. Neatly presented, these questions provide your middle school mathematicians practice with unit rate skills.
