Science Content Standards:
Science-Grade 8-Physical Sciences
1b Average speed is the total distance traveled
divided by the total time elapsed. The speed of an object along the path
traveled can vary.
Science-Grade 8-Physical Sciences
1c How to solve problems involving distance,
time, and average speed.
Science-Grade 8-Physical Sciences
1d To describe the velocity of an object one
must specify both direction and speed.
Science-Grade 8-Physical Sciences
1e Changes in velocity can be changes in speed,
direction, or both.
Science-Grade 8-Physical Sciences
1f How to interpret graphs of position versus
time and speed versus time for motion in a single direction.
Science-Grade 8-Investigation and Experimentation
9f Apply simple mathematical relationships
to determine one quantity given the other two (including speed = distance/time,
density = mass/volume, force = pressure x
area, volume=area x height).
Science-Grade 9 Grade 10 Grade 11 Grade 12-Physical Sciences
1a How to solve problems involving constant
speed and average speed.
