Description

Step 1: Gather your materials! Each team needs 2 timers, 1 meter stick, 1 roll of painters tape, and 1 marker. Step 2: Create your “race” track! Find a spot in the hallway and measure off a 5 meter race track. Use three pieces oftape to mark the beginning, middle, and end of your track. Mark each distance (0 m, 1 m, and 2 m, 5 m) on the tape with a marker. Step 3: Go for it! Each team member will need to perform the following tasks for each distance: Hopping, Hopping backwards, and speed walking you select 2 more activities. Your team will need people with timers or stopwatches at the 2 meter and 5 meter points. Record the time it takes to perform each task. NOTE: Speed walking is going as fast as you can without jogging or running! Collect That Data! Record your data from the experiment in the chart, then use the information to calculate the speed for each task and distance. Round answers to the nearest hundredth if needed. Label your answers! Hopping 2m 2.59s 5m 5.76s

average speed=.82 Hopping Backwards 2m 5m

.85m/s .92m/s

Average speed= .89m/s Speed Walking 2 m 1.33s 5 m 3.16s

1.5m/s 1.58m/s

Average speed= 1.54m/s 1. How far could you speed walk in 10 minutes based on your speed for the 5 meter trial? Show your work! Average speed=1.54m/s

1.58m/s 10x60= 600 seconds in 10 minutes 1.58x600=948 meters in 10 minutes 2. How long would it take you to hop 30 meters based on your speed for the 5 meter trial? Show your work! .87m/s 30/5= 6 6x.87= 5.22s to travel 30 meters by hopping 3. How far could you travel hopping backwards in 15 minutes based on your results for the 5 meter trial? Show your work! .92m/s 15x60=900s 900*.92=828m in 15 minutes
