An interactive module where students record their ideas in response to questions, and read and manipulate graphs and charts while they learn about velocity-time graphs and position-time graphs.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Understand how to evaluate data presented in graphs based on speed and velocity calculations.

In this introduction to motion activity, students will get a personal understanding of speed and acceleration by experiencing it firsthand. Wheeled office chairs or other cart like devices are used to give one student a ride as a fellow...

Students must calculate the speed of a hockey puck based on the graph of force vs. time for the impact between the stick and the puck.

Students must calculate the speed of a hockey puck based on the graph of force vs. time for the impact between the stick and the puck.

Solve problems where you must find the average velocity or speed by analyzing graphs. Hints and helpful videos are available when needed.

In the following interactive module, students will begin to explain the relationships between instantaneous velocity, average velocity, instantaneous speed, average speed, displacement, and time. They will calculate velocity and speed...

In this lesson, learners investigate motion graphs. Students predict what the distance-time graph and velocity time graph would look like for a student walking across the room for three different scenarios.

You will be given a velocity vs. time graph for the motion of a car. Your job is to match the graph with your car by pushing on the gas or brake or coasting at the appropriate moments. Before you start the matching game, you must set the...

Students interactively create predictions of position, velocity, and acceleration graphs using java applets. The applets automatically classify student answers, so instructors can create graphs of student predictions.

In this activity, students use a Motion Detector to measure distance and velocity. Students prepare graphs of motion and analyze them. They compare and match graphs of distance versus time and velocity versus time.

In this activity students will collect and analyze data of their walking speed. They will compare their speed to an outside speed walker. They will determine their speed every 20 meters up to 100 meters. They will complete five trials to...

How to calculate average velocity and speed in one-dimension in word problems.

In this lesson, you will learn about position vs. time graphs and velocity vs. time graphs and how to use them to solve problems.

Given descriptions, illustrations, graphs, charts, or equations, students will differentiate between speed, velocity, and acceleration.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Learn about the relationship between position and velocity for a model rocket during launch and in free-fall. Experiment with rocket mass, rocket thrust, and rocket burn time to understand the...

How to analyze graphs that relate velocity and time to acceleration and displacement.

Students are introduced to the calculator as a graphing tool and distinguish between average speed and instantaneous speed.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How motion and speed can be represented by a distance-time graph and how average speed can be calculated from it.

Through an animated illustration of a dot diagram and time graphs, students learn about positive velocity and positive acceleration.

After viewing an introductory illustrated podcast on speed, distance, time, and velocity, middle schoolers explore distance-time graphs using interactive websites. Working in cooperative learning groups, students will investigate the...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Learn about the relationship between velocity and position for a swimmer. Adjust the velocity of the legs, streamline, and arms to experiment with the slope of velocity in the simulation swimmer. Dig a...

Students are finding the velocities of objects based on the position vs. time graphs they create.

Learners investigate velocity. Some topics examined are average velocity, distance, and displacement. The resource includes example problems with solutions, interactive graphs, and a chapter quiz.
