Kinematics (Calculating Speed & Velocity)

Integrated Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics)

Your child understands the mathematical formula for speed (Speed = Distance ÷ Time) and can calculate the velocity of moving objects using standard metric variables.

In real life

On a long bus ride, your child clocks that you covered 180 km in 3 hours and calculates the average speed at 60 km/h. Then they time their own 100 m sprint on the beach and work out their speed.
