Lesson Plan: Speed Physics
This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to find the speed of a moving object as the rate of change of the distance that the object moves during a time interval.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- recognize that a distance can, but does not need to, correspond to motion in a straight line,
- use the formula in all combinations,
- distinguish between constant speed and average speed.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- distance.
Exclusions
Students will not cover
- displacement,
- velocity,
- graphs.
