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

Students analyze the relationship between speed, time and distance. In this math lesson, students plan a school trip. Students determine the efficiency and cost effectiveness of a trip.

Learners study stream speed.  In this stream speed lesson students complete an activity and formulate an opinion and study its effects.

In this math instructional activity, students examine the position of an object and then use the formulas to determine its path over time. Then they apply the information in order to determine the traveling path of an asteroid in space.

In this math worksheet, students investigate how time is related to the concept of increasing or decreasing velocity. Then they consider times and answer the questions of whether the velocity is changing.

Students compete in playground games in order to review velocity and wave behavior in real life situations. They demonstrate understanding by calculating velocity in their "Playground Games" packet.

In this similar triangles worksheet, learners use proportions to solve for the missing sides of similar triangles. This two-page worksheet contains 16 multi-step problems.

In 2006, New Horizons began its mission to fly to Pluto. As it continues its journey, scholars track its progress with the help of an informative website, all the while reinforcing measurement concepts with the construction of a scaled...

Knowing how to scale a recipe is an important skill. Young mathematicians determine the amount of ingredients they need to make a certain number of truffles when given a recipe. They determine a relationship between ingredients given a...

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...

For this science worksheet, 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.

Students 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...

For this math worksheet, students compute the total distance traveled for a car moving in a straight line at 45 mph for 2 hours. Then they compute the distance for a car moving along a curved path at 45 mph for 2 hours.

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

In this Euler's method activity, students use Euler's method to determine one-second time intervals in a rate problem. They explore functions to estimate rate changes in small time intervals. This two-page activity contains...

In this motion worksheet, 8th graders will compare and contrast the travel time, speed, and distance of a slow moving object and a fast moving object.

Learners discuss how investigators solve a hit and run accident. In this physical science lesson, students recreate an accident scene using CEENBot. They collect data from the experiment and formulate conclusion.

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 math worksheet, students find the solution to the problems using the story of the Tortoise and The Hare. They solve the problem by checking the logic of the reasoning that the tortoise would win the race.

In this motion activity, 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 movement learning exercise, 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...

Students use the reaction time to figure out problems. They use the following example to get them started with reaction time: the edge of a ruler is placed near a person's thumb and index finger and, without warning, the ruler is...

In this motion worksheet, students will read 8 statements about displacement and velocity and determine if the statement is true or false. Then students will fill in the blank for 8 statements on motion. Finally, students will compare...

Eighth graders explore calculating speed and velocity with Straw Rockets.
