Calculate

AVERAGE SPEED USING DISTANCE AND TIME MEASUREMENTS FROM INVESTIGATIONS

Including, but not limited to:

• Average speed

  • S = d/t

  • Does not identify speed variations during different segments of the trip

• Example investigations:

  • Measure the time that it takes for a small toy car or ball to travel a specified distance.

  • Use a teacher provided distance-time graph or data table to find the average speed of the toy car.
