Speed is how far an object travels in a bit of time.
To travel fast is to cover more distance in the same time, or the same distance in less time. |
|
What is speed?
What happens if we travel faster? |
|
|
| T |
The average speed for a journey is the distance traveled ÷ total time. |
|
What is the equation we use to calculate speed? Class practical:
Measure the speed of students doing different activities: walking/running/scootering/cycling (outside or pre book hall or sports hall) |
|
|
| W |
This is the average speed as you may have changed speed during the journey. |
|
What does the speed calculation tell you about your journey? |
|
|
| T |
The speed and any one moment in time is called the instantaneous speed. |
|
What do we call the speed at a given moment in time? |

|
speed and the quantitative relationship between average speed, distance and time (speed = distance ÷ time) |
|
What is the relationship between distance, speed and time? |
|
|
| T |
The SI unit for distance is metres (m).
The SI unit for time is seconds (s). |
|
What are the units for distance and time? |
|
|
| W |
The SI unit for speed is metres per second (m/s). |
|
What unit do we measure speed in? |
|
|
| A |
Calculate the average speed of some objects.
