Additional Learning Tools and Resources
Student Resources
Watching a presentation is a passive activity. Getting information is important ... but its not the destination or end point. Now that you've watched the video, its time to do something with the information you've heard. It's time to act on it. The resources below provide an opportunity to do this. We encourage learners to solidify their learning through the use of one or more of the following resources.
Minds on Physics App#1: Mission KC3 of Kinematic Concepts Module
For serious students of Physics, our Minds On Phyiscs apps will not disappoint. The program delivers carefully crafted questions that target single concepts in Physics and continues to deliver the questions until students demonstrate mastery. Mission KC3 is on the topic of speed and velocity.
Tutorial on Speed vs. Velocity
If you're ini need of a quick reference on the topic of speed and velocity, the Tutorial section of our website can deliver. Visit the 1D Kinematics Chapter and see the page on Speed and Velocity in Lesson 1.
Calculator Pad: Kinematics Section
When it comes to topics that are math-related, the Calculator Pad is a natural resource to use. You will find a large collection of problems on varied topics and of varied difficulty level. You will also find answers and audio-guided solutions. Practice makes perfect!
Distance vs. Displacement Concept Builder
Students love Concept Builders and this one on Distance vs. Displacement will give students plenty of practice with those troubling Back-and-Forth problems. While the topic isn't speed or velocity, andunderstanding of distance and displacement is essential for a successful calculation of average speed or average velocity.
