Describing Ferry Motion: Speed, Distance and Time Key Stage 3 Science resource for

Introduction

"Describing Ferry Motion: Speed, Distance and Time" is a 4-page Science resource for Key Stage 3, linked to

This resource is part of a set of 2 with the following alternate variants:

V107052 - KS3 High Ability

Précis

Students will cover the relationship between speed, distance and time and will rearrange equations. The higher resource will also encourage students to think about acceleration. This knowledge will be used to plot distance ?time graphs and lead into conversion of measurements.

Contextual Summary

This resource is for students in key stage 3. It relates to the science ? ?Motions? part of the curriculum. Students will be using formula for speed / distance/time and plotting graphs

Curriculum Relevance

Science → Physics → Motion and Force

Implementation

This is an on-site resource, designed for use whilst on the students? ferry journey to the island. Students will cover the relationship between speed, distance and time and will rearrange equations. The higher resource will also encourage students to think about acceleration. This knowledge will be used to plot distance ?time graphs and lead into conversion of measurements. Students will also think about why different vessels travel at different speeds.
