In this force activity, students draw motion maps given diagrams and construct qualitative force diagrams. They calculate such things as acceleration, upward forces and the magnitude and direction of the forces.

In this velocity learning exercise, students fill in a chart with a written expression, a motion map, a graph of velocity versus time and a graph of position versus time given one of these as a guide.

In this acceleration worksheet, students construct a motion map and a qualitative and quantitative graphical representation to determine the motion of a car after it applies its brakes. This worksheet has 8 problems to solve.

Students explore how to draw a world map by hand and how to locate countries.
