Speed/Acceleration Lab: Physical Science Activity to Measure and Graph Motion
This is an activity that involves the students in measuring, collecting data, calculations and graphing. This is done as a class with 8 timers, 3 volunteers to walk/run and a recorder. Volunteers are timed moving down the hallway and the time and distance data is used to create graphs showing constant speed/velocity and acceleration. Students have to calculate average speed and answer questions on how to identify the differences in movement on the graphs.

Teaching style
I like to use combinations of reading, hands-on activities, practice worksheets, projects, lecture/notes, video clips and reports. I use my lab space several times a week and take my classes out of the classroom a lot to use labs, the outdoors around school and field trips off school property.
