Eighth graders explore calculating speed and velocity with Straw Rockets.
Curated OER
Linear Motion: Speed, Velocity & Acceleration
Learners explore the concept of linear motion. For this linear motion lesson, students calculate distance and time in order to calculate average speed and velocity in the provided problems.
Curated OER
Position, Velocity & Acceleration vs. Time
For this motion worksheet, students use a graph showing the velocity of an object over time to describe the motion of the object and to determine the position of the object at different intervals. Then students create speed vs. time and...
Curated OER
Position, Velocity & Acceleration vs. Time Graphs
In this motion activity, students use a graph showing velocity vs. time to create a speed vs. time graph and an acceleration vs. time graph. Students label all critical values along the y-axis.
Curated OER
Position, Velocity & Acceleration vs. Time Graphs
For this graphing worksheet, students determine the speed vs. time and acceleration vs. time plots based on the velocity vs. time graph given. Students complete 2 graphs.
