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

Pupils 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.

Students calculate a toy car's velocity and acceleration. For this force and motion lesson, students build ramps and attach a dropper to a toy car, which is released down the ramp. Students calculate and graph velocity and acceleration...

In this physics review learning exercise, students complete 24 matching and problem solving questions pertaining to math code, speed, experiments and variables, slope, and acceleration and average speed.

Students determine how speed is measured. In this physics lesson, students design an experiment to find out if the robot's drive wheel size affects its speed. They collect data and discuss results.

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...

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.

This lesson plan entails the viewing of two videos to get an overview of force and its application. The lesson plan covers how vectors use force in real-world situations.

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.  

In this calculus worksheet, students solve differentiable functions, determine the inverse of a function and identify the derivative. This one-page worksheet contains seven multi-step problems.

Develop a graph to represent the distance between two cars. The assessment task presents a scenario in which two cars are traveling at constant speeds with one faster than the other. Pupils develop graphical representations to show the...

Keep the planes from crashing. Pupils work with three airplanes and change their flight paths to keep them at a safe distance from each other. Individuals work through three problems in the third interactive in a set of six with...

Pupils visualize distance-rate-time problems by using bar models. The lesson presents examples of four different types of rate problems and shows how they can be solved using bar models and equations. Each example is followed...

So many things change as time goes by. Here, scholars create graphs based on this premise. Each problem asks pupils to sketch a graph that describes a given situation. Their graphs represent various characteristics such as height,...

Pupils must graph the location of a train using the time given a timetable. They analyze the different legs of the trip, graph the return trip, and compare the two graphs. The lesson ends with a discussion of similarities and...

Do pilots create appropriate spacing between aircraft by traveling a longer or shorter path? An interactive presents two airplanes that violate safety protocols. Pupils must determine how to change the path of one plane to create...

Almost every phone has GPS installed, but a large number of teens don't know how the technology works. An initial activity illustrates how GPS determines a location on Earth. Scholars then apply trilateration procedures to a...

What came first, pedestrian one or pedestrian two? Scholars consider a problem scenario in which two people walk at different rates at different times. They must decide who reaches a checkpoint first. Their answers are likely to surprise...

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...

In this speed worksheet, high schoolers create time vs. distance graphs to answer questions about average speed, average velocity, and acceleration. This worksheet has 3 problems to solve.

Students calculate the inverse variation, and speed given the formulas. In this algebra lesson, students investigate properties of conics, focusing on the hyperbola. They identify the distance between the directrix and other parts...

Learners 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 move with control in general space. They move with three different spatial distances and tempi. Students demonstrate understanding of the distance and speed of particles in matter: solid-close and slow; liquid-medium distance...

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