This is a 10-question quiz over speed and velocity.

Through illustrated examples and interactive practice problems, students examine the difference between speed and velocity.

Read the passage "The Speed of a Neural Impulse" and completed the related five-question quiz.

This applet allows the user to make observations about the relationship between speed and position and how both of these are affected by initial velocity and the incline on which the biker is traveling.

An illustrated example of a speed-time graph plotted with speed on the vertical axis against time on the horizontal axis.

This site includes practice using the acceleration equation to solve for acceleration, time, and initial or final velocity.

This illustrated tutorial focuses on several examples of vector and scalar quantities including distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration.

[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.

This activity explores a parachutist and her position, velocity and acceleration. Graphing and calculating these functions will be required.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this short tutorial, students investigate the meaning of average speed and velocity.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students investigate and analyze characteristics of waves, including velocity, and calculate the relationship between wave speed, frequency, and wavelength.

Students strengthen their communication skills by first learning the meaning of base units and derived units. Then, working in groups, students measure the time for LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robots and calculate the robots' average speeds at...

This resource provides flexible alternate or additional learning activities for students learning about the concepts of distance, speed, and acceleration.

This is part 2 of a two-part lesson on understanding how speed changes when two objects collide. Students will conduct an experiment, collect data, and draw conclusions about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide....

Students will distinguish between and/or interpret the types of motion.

Join Valerie and Margie as they devise ways to measure how fast and how "wild" two water slides are in this video from DragonflyTV. [3:12]

Explore forces and motion as you push household objects up and down a ramp. Lower and raise the ramp to see how the angle of inclination affects the parallel forces.

This brief overview distinguishes speed and velocity. Vectors are explained along with acceleration and gravitation. Diagrams are used to help explain these concepts.

A printable, high-school level worksheet with physics problems which allows students to practice describing motion using speed and velocity.

This tutorial takes a shot at explaining how circuits can be used to measure things beyond the capacity of human senses.

In this activity, young scholars learn to analyze video clips and extract data about the velocity of moving objects, reinforcing the concept of average velocity. After mastering the technique of using videos to measure velocity, students...

Students must determine the speed of a hockey puck based on a graph of force vs. displacement.

A physics lab activity where students gather data from classmates running at different rates on a football field. They then share their gathered data and transfer it to a graphing program to ultimately calculate average velocity.

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