This Lab allows students to find and calculate their speed and acceleration from walking, jogging, and running. In this lab, students will mark off areas that span 5m and keep a timer of how long it takes them to pass one marker to the next. At each marker, the student's speed changes. This lab also can serve as an introduction to acceleration or a reinforcement of it. Included in the instructions/procedure is a formula sheet that serves as a friendly reminder and a help box for students that need it. The students always have fun calculating their speed in this lab and see how they compare to their group members. I hope your students enjoy it as well.

I have it titled the "Need for Speed Lab" (Top Gun reference).
