Students 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...

High schoolers 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 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 math worksheet, students examine the position of an object and then use the formulas to determine its path over time. Then they apply the information in order to determine the traveling path of an asteroid in space.

In this math worksheet, students investigate how time is related to the concept of increasing or decreasing velocity. Then they consider times and answer the questions of whether the velocity is changing.

In this similar triangles learning exercise, students use proportions to solve for the missing sides of similar triangles. This two-page learning exercise contains 16 multi-step problems.

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.

Students determine the average speed of a toy car as it travels six different distances set up by Students. Three trials are done for each distance. The only requirements is that the longest distance must be at least three times longer...

For this math worksheet, students compute the total distance traveled for a car moving in a straight line at 45 mph for 2 hours. Then they compute the distance for a car moving along a curved path at 45 mph for 2 hours.

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 Euler's method instructional activity, students use Euler's method to determine one-second time intervals in a rate problem. They explore functions to estimate rate changes in small time intervals. This two-page instructional...

Tenth graders estimate the size of an adult cheetah by research and measurement of a picture. They determine the approximate distance and speed of the cheetah from a filmed chase and compare that to their own running speed.

Students investigate how Global Positioning Systems work and how and why GPS receivers make errors. They graph data points and apply estimation and prediction to real-life GPS situations, discuss time delay, and complete a worksheet.

Students 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 math learning exercise, learners 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 simulate the motion of a fly ball with different winds. They use a partner to provide the simulated wind. Students draw a baseball diamond and the field on a piece of paper. They drag the pen across the paper to show the path of...

High schoolers solve uniform motion problems using formula d = rt.

In this movement activity, students will complete 5 sentences by filling in the blank with vocabulary words associated with movement: acceleration, gravity, and speed. Then students will be given 3 units of measurement and they will...

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

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....

In this road trip problem, learners 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.

Learners compete in playground games in order to review velocity and wave behavior in real life situations. They demonstrate understanding by calculating velocity in their "Playground Games" packet.

Students create a search and rescue party. In this geometry lesson, students simulate a rescue operation using math. They calculate the time, rate and solve word problems related to the real world.

Students role several balls of different weights down a ramp and into a paper cup and record how far each ball made the paper cup move. They then answer questions that help them analyze their results and reinforce the idea that energy...
