Lesson: Velocity Physics • First Year of Secondary School

In this lesson, we will learn how to find velocity as the rate of change of displacement, explaining the similarities and differences between speed and velocity.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

use the formula , recognizing that is displacement rather than distance,
identify velocity as being a vector quantity the magnitude of which is the scalar quantity speed,
demonstrate that multiple velocity values can be combined to find an average velocity,
compare average speeds to average velocities for objects that undergo changes of direction.
