This lesson focuses on Distance-time graphs; the gradient of a distance-time graph represents the speed of an object.

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

This lesson will explain what speed is, including the difference between average speed and instantaneous speed, showing how to calculate both. It will also show the common units used to represent speed. It is 2 of 2 in the series titled...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students apply a formula to solve problems involving speed, distance and time.

This game is designed to help students mentally figure out distances, speeds or time for objects moving at constant speed. A video will help with use of the program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nWhvhO6pXo&feature=youtu.be

An interactive quiz which provides students with a word problem involving distance, speed, and/or time. Students input their solution and have the program evaluate it. Hints are available if the student needs them, and explanations are...

Students must determine the horizontal speed of a projectile based on the distance that it travels and other given information. Students must find the time of flight and put it in milliseconds. Finally, students must find the final...

In this activity, students' will use a motion detector to observe the effect of speeding up, slowing down, and moving at a constant rate on a Distance versus Time plot.

In past times, ocean navigators tossed a piece of wood over the side of their ships and noted how long until the ship passed the wood. They used this time measurement and the length of the ship to calculate their speed and estimate how...

Using these rate of speed problems practice figuring out either the distance, time or speed. Read the interactive quiz rules and then click on the "Begin" ticket. If you answer incorrectly you get one more chance to try again then you...

Eighth graders are presented with the graphs of two cars traveling. One shows distance from home versus time and the other shows speed versus time. Students are to write a description of what might be happening during each car's...
