Acceleration Determination

Students complete a 20 meter run and use the data to calculate their velocity and then they calculate their acceleration. Students use the data to graph their results. Great lab--only requires a stopwatch (or digital timer), graph paper, a meter stick to measure out your "track," and tape to mark the 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 meter marks.

This is a great resource for students to glue into their interactive science notebooks. Page one includes a brief reading with information introducing students to the concepts of potential and kinetic energy. Students then define key terms, answer questions and interpret diagrams. The resource gets glued into their notebooks as an excellent study guide. Great for teachers who do not have textbook sets to send home with their students!
