Students explore the relationship between time traveled, distance and speed.  In this solar race car instructional activity students wire solar batteries using series and parallel circuitry. 

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 science learning exercise, students name what each of the units listed represent whether it is distance, time, speed, or acceleration. Then they solve each of the word problems that follow, showing all of their work.

In this motion learning exercise, students compare two graphs showing a bug's distance traveled over time. Students calculate the average speed of the bugs and determine which bug was traveling at a constant speed. This learning exercise...

In this motion worksheet, students determine the speed, velocity, or acceleration of various objects under certain conditions. This worksheet has 7 word problems.

Students explore average speed, and graph distances and time.  In this speed and velocity instructional activity students complete a lab then calculate distances, acceleration and velocity and graph the data.

In this constant velocity worksheet, students use data of position vs. time of a roller-skater to determine speed, acceleration, or deceleration at different points along the path. Students rank graphs according to average velocity and...

In this motion worksheet, learners will write in motion vocabulary words including velocity and speed to complete 7 statements. Then students will calculate average speed and velocity in three short answer questions.

In this distance worksheet, students read a story problem and write an equation to fit the situation.  Students determine the distance between two signs based upon the speed of a car.  This one-page worksheet contains 1...

Students determine their own walking and running velocity. In this physics lesson, students calculate velocity using distance and time information. They compare human and animal speeds.

Students explore Newton's three laws of motion using a variety of activities. In this physics lesson, students calculate the average speed of a vehicle they constructed using distance and time information. They identify and draw the...

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.

Learners 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...

Second graders study the basic components of weather. They construct a thermometer and anemometer to measure temperatures, precipitation, and wind speed. In addition, 2nd graders discover how to find these components on weather maps.

Pupils investigate how to measure the speed of wind. They do this by building their own anemometers. Students calculate the air speeds while using their own projects and make observations. They conduct a mathematical discussion after the...

In this movement worksheet, 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...

Pupils examine Newton's Law of Motion and use the formula to calculate speed.  In this laws of motion lesson students create a balloon powered car and calculate its speed and distance. 

Students build windmills and weather vanes. In this lesson on air, students build wind vanes and windmills to demonstrate that air moves. Students determine the direction of air movement and measure the speed at which it is moving.

Students calculate the speed using metric measurements. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate speed, distance and velocity using metric measurements. They gain inquiry and problem solving skills in this assignment.

Learners analyze velocity and how it is determined. They experiment with velocity in order to measure and calculate the magnitude of speed. They use examples in their novel "Skateboard Renegade" to relate velocity to real life situations.

Students examine the influence of the end wall. They find a basin size and wind speed such that a given wall height is overtopped. Then, increase the wall elevation until overtopping stops. Students explain the difference in results.

Students research destinations and the factors involved in taking a trip and explore how averages play a part in making decisions. They explore how to find the average speed and the distance to a particular destination, they estimate...

For this distance worksheet, learners solve radicals. They read story problems, write equations, and compute the speed and or distance an object traveled. This one-page worksheet contains ten problems.
