Description
Calculating Speed - A ready to go packet on calculating speed! Notes - Activities - Practice. This resource contains everything you need to teach calculating speed, distance, and time.
Here's how you'll do it
1. Read through the explanation on speed. The 'triangle' on variables explains how to calculate each variable - speed, distance, and time.
2. Practice Problems - page 1, as a class. Assign page 2 for homework.
3. When students come in the next day, go over homework. Take your students OUTSIDE for activity #1. You'll need meter sticks, chalk, and stop watches (I let my kids use cell phones). They'll be timing each other over a distance of 10 meters while they skip, walk, run, hop, and grapevine. Then you'll head indoors so they can use their timings to calculate all their speeds!
4. Once back inside and calculations are complete, get out the chewing gum! For a fun extension, give each student a piece of gum. They'll time each other and count how many chews they do over a period of one minute. Using their timings, they'll figure out how many chews they would do over the course of a year. This activity is focused at looking at units and why they're important.
