In this travel time and distance, imperial fractional units instructional activity, students solve 6 word problems.

In this scale problem worksheet, 6th graders solve 9 different problems that include reading a map scale of a neighborhood. First, they determine the distance between each person's home as illustrated. Then, students determine the...

In this velocity worksheet, students determine the average velocity for a trip, graph the distance traveled as a function of time, estimate the slope and identify the instantaneous rate of change of the function. This two-page worksheet...

Learners create a map. In this direction and distance lesson, students come up with familiar places in the community and calculate the distances from these places to the school. Learners create a map that displays these places and their...

In this motion problem worksheet, students read story problems, write equations, and determine the speed, distance or time objects travel. They determine when two objects, traveling in opposite directions, meet, This three-page...

Students assess human impact on water quality. They determine how the force of friction retards motion. Pupils describe and measure quantities that characterize moving objects and their interactions within a system: Time, Distance,...

Young scholars measure the flight of a gilder. In this fight of angles lesson, students explore the flight of a glider and measure the distance flown. They collect statistical data of the flights and determine the slope of each flight. ...

Students explore the migratory patterns of four different animals. Reasons for the migration and migratory distances are investigated in this lesson.

In this velocity worksheet, students compute the distance they would travel given a constant velocity for a car for specified amounts of time. They use tables to find the initial and terminal velocities for each time interval.

Students investigate distance measurement.  In this middle school mathematics lesson, students find the average length of their pace and use their pace to measure various unknown distances in feet and miles.  Students relate...

In this route worksheet, learners observe a chart of Santa's route and answer word problems about the distance he travels between cities. They complete six problems.

Research milestones from the past century. Transportation milestones have changed society, the economy, communication, and travel. Pupils research these changes in order to create a transportation exhibit showing the enhancements in...

You've got to pump it up! Using the equations for projectile motion and Bernoulli's Principle, class members calculate the water pressure in a water gun. The pupils collect data on the number of pumps and distance traveled in order...

Slide books with a little assistance from Newton. Using books, groups create a demonstration of Newton's Second Law of motion. Pupils compare the distance traveled by one and two books when they apply a force to them.

High school physical scientists collide with motion. They work in pairs to design a paper car that will protect a raw egg during a head-on collision. Measurements of distance traveled, time of run, vehicle specs, and photo gate flags are...

Falling objects can be brutal if you don't protect your noodle! Scholars explore the motion of falling objects through measuring short intervals to determine if the distance traveled varies with time. Building off of this, scholars...

Determine the change in elevation on a mountain road. Individuals use the interactive to simulate a truck driving up a mountain road with a 30-degree incline. They determine missing sides of a 30-60 right triangle to find horizontal and...

Help your class get their bearings when it comes to right triangles. Pupils determine distances traveled or components given the bearing of a sailboat using an interactive. The scholars develop a sense of finding the bearings of a given...

Half are real-world. The 2011 AP® Calculus AB free-response questions let pupils and teachers see how content appears on the exam. Half of the questions contain real-world context, and four items do not allow calculators. Real-world...

One step at a time, pupils practice their measurement techniques as they analyze their stride length. They design their own procedures for measuring and relate their stride measurements to the distance traveled by making calculations.

Young scientists learn how to select a scale factor for a large scale model. Then they figure the scale for each of the planets and the distance between them. Finally, they construct a giant scale model of the solar system and answer...

Students calculate the distance using the distance formula. In this geometry lesson, students identify the distance a taxi cab travels. They relate distance to functions and relate it to the real world.

In this measurement instructional activity, student measure the distances between Arizona cities by using a the scale on an Arizona Cities map. Students complete 15 problems.

In this velocity worksheet, students determine the distance traveled when an object is moving in a straight line. Students graph functions and determine the slope of the line. This two-page worksheet contains six multi-step problems.
