Thursday 02/15 Science - Distance, Time, and Speed

Purpose: I can determine the distance, time, or speed of objects as I describe motion.

1. Connection:  Telling how fast an object is moving is a way to describe the object's motion.
2. Teaching: Today I want to teach you that speed tells you how fast an object is moving.
• To find the speed of an object, you need to know two things: distance and time.
• Speed = distance / time
• But if you know any two of those elements, you can describe an object’s motion in another way: distance traveled or time taken.
3. Engagement: Distance, Time, and Speed Worksheet
4. Extension: Bill Nye - Motion
