Plan

– Written Activity – Crossword puzzle that has questions leading to speed, velocity, and acceleration.

– Written Evaluation – 8-10 question, multiple-choice test over the differences between speed, velocity, and acceleration.

– “Hands-On” Activity – Make a ramp with a book as a turn to demonstrate speed/acceleration down the ramp; and when the object turns, it will change acceleration and velocity.

– Presentation – Slideshow covering the differences in speed, velocity, and acceleration.  Present on projector in Coach Hampton’s room.
