01. I walk the line

Learning intentions:

> what do we already know about speed, acceleration and forces?

> how can we measure speed?

> what is speed and how can we visualise it?

Activity: Take the pre-topic quiz. This is not an assessment, just a way of checking at the start of a topic what people already know. At the end of the topic if we re-take the same quiz so we can check our progress.

Investigation: walking speed. Follow the instructions on the practical sheet to carry out a simple investigation into speed, its units and how to calculate it.

Can you:

> make careful measurements

> calculate speeds from your results

> explain what makes measurements more accurate
