Engage your students with this Halloween-themed activity for calculating average speed using distance-time graphs, perfect for HS-PS2-1 or MS-PS2-2 standards.

This resource helps students practice calculating both total average speed and average speed between two points on digital or printable graphs. The Halloween theme adds a fun twist to this essential physics concept.

(Need an introduction? Introduction to Distance and Speed Time Graphs PowerPoint and Workbook)

Product Features:

• Three Themed Distance-Time Graphs: Each graph includes 10 segments that students will analyze to calculate speed. These graphs can be used digitally or printed for classroom use.
• Average Speed Calculations: Each graph comes with an accompanying slide where students calculate the total average speed for the entire graph and determine the average speed between two different points.
• Detailed Analysis: Students will determine the distance traveled for each segment, calculate the total distance, and divide it by the total time (19 seconds) to find the total average speed. They will also calculate average speeds between specific times on the graph.

What's Included:

• Teacher Notes: Helpful guidance for implementing the activity effectively.
• Student Directions: Clear instructions for students to follow as they complete the activity.
• Three Distance-Time Graphs: Each graph features 10 segments, suitable for detailed analysis and calculations.
• Answer Chart: A comprehensive chart for students to find and record their total average speed and average speed between two points.

Key Benefits:

• Engaging Theme: The Halloween theme adds an element of fun and relevance to the activity, making it more engaging for students.
• Standards-Aligned: Supports HS-PS2-1 and MS-PS2-2 standards, helping students meet curriculum requirements.
• Versatile Use: Ideal for classroom instruction, homework, or review sessions.
