Calculating Distance, Speed, and Time
Students explore the relationship between the speed(rate of travel) of an object, the distance it travels, and the amount of time it travels for.
Teachers may use:
A- Air rockets(from a previous lesson), and a timer to calculate the average speed of a rocket at a given launch psi.
or
B- A baseball, and a timer to calculate the average speed of a throw.
Materials
Air rockets and launcher. Search ASU ASAP lesson plans for “Air Rocket Design Challenge” to go with this option.
OR
A baseball for each group.
ALSO
Timers for each group.
Clipboards, pencils, and paper for recording data away from the classroom.
Agenda (60 minutes)
1st- Introduction to distance, rate, and time relationship.
2nd- Use that information to calculate speed in an investigation.
3rd- Analyze and present data.
