Description
Force and Motion Unit - Distance vs. Displacement Lab - I hope you're ready for the most engaging, fun activity you've ever done in your classroom.
Looking for a hands-on activity for distance vs displacement? This is a highly engaging, student HIGHLIGHT of the week activity! You'll need either mealworms or super worms. Students will time their mealworm in six time segments. At the end of every two minutes, students mark on a large piece of paper the location of their mealworm, then draw a line segment to show the distance traveled. At the end of six two-minute segments, students add all the line segments together to get the total distance traveled. A final measurement from the starting location to ending location, with noted direction, gives the displacement. Finally, the class will share their findings to report back the class data.
An additional lab is included where students will use their mealworms to calculate speed. My students LOVED these labs. Each lab takes a full 45 minutes.
