Show Some Motion!

Project:  Motion
Goal: Identify the motion of several common objects and calculate how fast each one moves.
To complete this project, you must

• measure distance and time carefully
• calculate the speed of each object using your data
• prepare display cards of your data, diagrams, and calculations
• follow the safety guidelines in Appendix A

Plan It!
With your classmates, brainstorm several examples of objects in motion, such as a feather falling, your friend riding a bicycle, or the minute hand moving on a clock.  Choose your examples and have your teacher approve them.  Create a data table for each example and record your measurements.  For accuracy, repeat your measurements.  Then calculate the speed of each object.  Make display cards for each example that show data, diagrams, and calculations.

Speed = Distance/Time

Create a graph!
