These printable task cards on Average Speed, Distance, and Time are a fun alternative to physics problem set. They contain 20 speed, distance, and time problems with answers. Task cards encourage students to collaborate with their partner, group, and class! I have included a blank recording sheet and a self-checking recording sheet with an answer bank. 

Only the last five questions require unit conversions. I have also included two cards on the difference between instantaneous speed and average speed. 

This was designed for my Conceptual Physics Class, but I have used it in both 8th Grade Science (by giving students three separate equations for speed, distance, and time) and Pre-AP Physics (by making students rearrange the equation for speed algebraically).

✩ HOW THIS ASSIGNMENT WORKS  ✩

• Students can solve the questions on the cards and record their work and answer on the attached recording document or in the notebooks. 
• To make this activity self-checking, students can be given the Answer Bank version. This frees up time for you to help individual students.  

✩ WHAT STUDENTS NEED TO KNOW BEFORE THEY BEGIN ✩

• How to solve for speed, distance, and time. 
• Students can be taught three equations or as one. 
• For the last 5 cards, students need to be able to convert units. This can be part of the lesson or saved as a challenge for students who finish the first 15 cards. 

✩ Easy Steps to Take AFTER Purchasing ✩

1. Download the file.
2. Print out the task cards for as many groups as you would like.
3. Print out the recording document of your choice or have students record their answers in their notebooks.
