Speed and Velocity GCSE Physics

A lesson on speed and velocity for AQA EDEXCEL OCR specifications GCSE Physics. Lots of examples in the powerpoint and a worksheet for challenge, extra practice, or simply homework. I've also included an investigation planning sheet for testing height of ramp on toy cars.

Objectives
1. To know the correct units to apply
2. To be able to calculate and rearrange s=d/t
3. To explain the difference between speed and velocity

What you get for your buck:

A supporting powerpoint
A nice picture of a Saleen S7 twin turbo (lovely. Yellow, but lovely)
A short history on what we consider fast (in ppt)
Oodles of calculation examples and practice (in ppt)
A nice interactive slide with moving blocks (you'll need a stopwatch) (in ppt)
More calculations (in ppt)
An explanation of speed versus velocity
More calculations (in ppt)
A scaled worksheet with the answers separate for homework, practice etc.

You could differentiate by giving the students:
A speed investigation proforma (they plan the test given the question - independent learning task)

That should keep them busy for an hour ;)
Have fun
