Slow and Steady Wins! (3-8)

$0.00

A slow-moving constant speed dune buggy can be used to teach about uniform motion.
Students can easily mark the location of the car during a specific time interval, such as just counting slowly. Comparing the distances travelled during each time interval will help students understand uniform (constant velocity) vs nonuniform (accelerated) motion.

Description

This lesson provides a learning experience using a constant speed buggy. Students make physical graphs using adding machine tape and/or sticky notes or washers.
