In this lab, students will scoot across the classroom or gym while their partners time their motion. When they've come back to the starting line, group members can calculate the speed of the scooter.

This lab allows every participant to have two trial runs - scooting forwards and scooting backwards, with up to four members in a group.

This activity includes the files for the lab pamphlet, answer key, and images of the lab in action.

This is a fun lab that can be setup quickly and can be completed by students in a single period (45 to 60 minutes).

Required materials: Furniture Dollies or Gym Scooters, Timers, Calculators, Meter Sticks. Also, a large, open area for scooting - at least 15 meters (10 meters forward and back with 5 extra meters for the other members of the groups as they time and spectate).
