Bianca Goes to the Movie | Cyberchase | Grades 3-5, 6-8 Working With Time and Money Teaching and Lesson ResourcesIn this video segment from Cyberchase, Bianca is invited to attend a movie premiere. On her way she must stop at her cousins' birthday party. Unfortunately she is delayed when her car runs out of gas and then gets a flat tire. She is running out of time to get to the premiere, so she consults a map and makes a decision about which route would take the least amount of time. She bases her decision on the distance of each route and the speed limit allowed on each road.

Digit in Pursuit | Cyberchase | Grades 3-5, 6-8 Understanding Graphs (Grade 7) Teaching and Lesson ResourcesIn this video segment from Cyberchase, Digit is held captive on Hacker’s ship, The Grim Wreaker. The CyberSquad tracks the Wreaker's movements, and they chart the distance it has traveled over a period of time on two line graphs. After they analyze the graphs, the CyberSquad realizes that the new speed at which Hacker is traveling means he has created portals throughout Cyberspace.

Calculating Speed | Grades 3-5, 6-8 Distance, Time, Liquid Volume, Mass, and Money Problems (Grade 4) Teaching and Lesson ResourcesIn this video segment from Cyberchase, the CyberSquad has to find out exactly how fast each of Wicked’s three brooms can go. They set out to calculate the speed per second of each broom using the data they have from their speed tests over a period of five seconds.

Virtual Car: Velocity and Acceleration | Grades 9-12 Graphing and Representing Motion Teaching and Lesson ResourcesThis interactive activity demonstrates how vectors are used to represent velocity (speed and direction) and acceleration. In the activity, vectors change in real-time as you "drive" a car on a flat plain; as you change speed and direction, vectors originating from the car respond to your actions. A graph depicting speed vs. time also responds to your actions, displaying both the speed and acceleration of the car.

Scale City | Proportional Relationships in the Real World | Grades 6-8 Unit Rates and Rate Language (Grade 6) Teaching and Lesson ResourcesIn this video, students visit the Kentucky Horse Park where they are introduced to the question How are speed, time, and distance interrelated? The accompanying activity builds on a demonstration from the video of the length of Man o’ War’s stride versus the length of a person’s stride by allowing students to measure their own strides versus that of the great racehorse.

Cheetah Velocity | Kratts Creatures | Grades K-2, 3-5 Animals Teaching and Lesson ResourcesLearn all about a cheetah's velocity as the Kratt brothers follow one cheetah mother on her hunt for food for her family. Viewers learn about the speed and efficiency with which cheetah's hunt and eat! From this video, students learn about how the speed of cheetahs is possible because of their stride and their tail. Viewers also learn that despite their speed on the hunt, cheetahs are wiped out once they do catch the prey so they must eat what they catch very quickly!

Estimating Distance and Time | Cyberchase | Grades 3-5, 6-8 Relating Quantities and Measurements With Ratio Tables (Grade 6) Teaching and Lesson ResourcesIn this video segment from Cyberchase, the CyberSquad is trying to get to Crab Kingdom. First, they must estimate how far the trip is in order to determine how much power they need in their underwater bikes to complete the mission. Since each vehicle has a certain amount of power, the CyberSquad must then decide which vehicle to choose based on how much energy they estimate they will need.
