This Velocity and Acceleration lesson plan also includes:
  • Project
  • Join to access all included materials

Twelfth graders look at local speed limits and traffic controls and see if they are reasonable. They plot the displacement and time to represent velocity, develop a plan for improving the current system, and organize experimental information into a report. They assess the speed of cars around their shcool and do online research to present their findings.
