Several real-world problems are posed as a way to learn about vector fields in order to make some predictions after analyzing the data. The main problem comes from the tv show NUMB3RS and is based on solving a crime where a body has...

Students identify and practice how to develop a greater understanding of direction, speed and relationship to movement. They travel through the open space at the centre of the grid marked by the teacher on the floor and reach the safe...

Students explore the information depicted on topographic maps. They construct a 3-D topographic map of a local area. They go on a field trip to the depicted area and compare the 'real world' with their models.

Vectors and their connection to motion. A video will be presented to provide information for the class to use methods of solving vectors with and without grids. Real-world physical concepts will be explored in reference to vectors.

Students investigate the relationship between vectors and motion. In this geometry lesson, students create a system that exemplifies the principles of motion. They solve for the acceleration, velocity and displacement.

There isn't much learners do on this compass rose worksheet- an image includes degrees of direction and abbreviations of both cardinal and intermediate directions. There is a blank for students to fill out the compass #, however it is...

Students examine how engineers utilize the wind.  In this wind lesson students examine the different kinds of winds and measure wind direction. 

For this motion worksheet, students will write in motion vocabulary words including velocity and speed to complete 7 statements. Then students will calculate average speed and velocity in three short answer questions.

Third graders are introduced to the six types of simple machines and discover how they make tasks easier. In groups, they rotate between stations to experiment with the different types of simple machines. To end the lesson, they make a...

In this up or down direction worksheet, students read the directional sentence and trace the path to show the up or down direction. Students complete 3 examples.

Students use both magnitude and direction to locate a place. They use locating techniques to make a temperature field of their classroom.

Third graders study how forces of push and pull can change speed or direction.

The greater the force applied to an object, the greater the change in speed or direction of the object.

A video tutorial and slide show lesson explains the similarities and differences between distance and displacement. [3:11]

Through a short informational reading piece and an animated visual, students learn that vectors represent both magnitude and direction.
