Eighth graders study sediment and the factors that effect its distribution.  In this sediment study lesson students complete a lab activity on sediment distribution. 

In this matter in motion worksheet, students answer the provided questions as it relates to motion, speed, velocity, and acceleration. Students mark given statements as either true or false.

In this motion worksheet, students complete graphs showing speed vs. time and acceleration vs. time. This worksheet has 2 graphs to complete.

In the precalculus worksheet, students compute vectors and angle directions from given equations. They read and interpret information from three word problems to determine direction, speed, and the velocity vector in navigation problems.

Students are asked how do they calculate velocity? They take a trip to the school's track and have a series of timed races. Students return to class and calculate their velocity and see who is the fastest. They summarize what they did...

Students visualize the relation between acceleration and velocity in 2 dimensions. They are introduced to Newton's first law,and Newton's second law. Students work on an exploration activity where they condsider an example of a...

Students explore the relationship between velocity and pressure of a fluid. After a lecture/demo, students engage in an experiment which demonstrate the Bernoulli Effect and enhance their understanding.

Explore the forces at work when you try to push a filing cabinet. Create an applied force and see the resulting friction force and total force acting on the cabinet. Charts show the forces, position, velocity, and acceleration vs. time....

Explore the forces at work when you try to push a filing cabinet. Create an applied force and see the resulting friction force and total force acting on the cabinet. Charts show the forces, position, velocity, and acceleration vs. time....

In this field investigation, small groups of learners will observe and measure characteristics of the South Crow River near Mayer, Minnesota. Data collection on these characteristics will include but not be limited to: speed of current...

Students design, build and evaluate a spring-powered mouse trap racer. For evaluation, teams equip their racers with an intelligent brick from a LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Education Base Set and a HiTechnic acceleration sensor. They use...

This study guide on motion covers some key vocabulary and terms to describe motion: displacement vs. distance, acceleration, speed vs. velocity, and instantaneous vs. average. It includes graphs showing distance vs. time, velocity vs....

In this activity, students' will use a motion detector to record distance and velocity versus time information for a walker. They find the area under the velocity versus time graph and compare it to the actual distance traveled by the...

The student will investigate Hooke's law and the position, velocity and acceleration of an object oscillating vertically on a spring.

In this activity, Students can use a Motion Detector to measure distance and velocity.

How to analyze graphs that relate velocity and time to acceleration and displacement.
