Speed and Motion Activity: Falling Dominoes

This is very engaging speed and motion activity to reinforce the topic with middle school students. It is ready to print, easy to follow, and very straightforward. Students place dominoes at different spaces from each other, measure the total distance, and time how long it takes the line of dominoes to fall. They use this data to calculate the speed of each trial.

Includes:

• Clear step-by-step instructions
• Data table
• Blank graph
• Analysis questions
• Going further
