This Junior Science series aims to provide teachers with innovative lessons across a variety of topics studied in science at the junior secondary level. This resource focuses on Motion and contains carefully graded worksheets suitable for students of all capabilities in Years 7-10.

This complex topic is broken down into discrete worksheets, each focusing on one aspect or application of waves. As students work through these activities, they will interpret and analyse data including text, tables, graphs and diagrams; and organise and represent data in a variety of formats. They will also utilise basic scientific skills such as working with formulas, completing calculations, making generalisations and explaining what they have discovered. The activities incorporate a range of theoretical and practical scientific skills, and also involve the development of literacy skills.

Sample answers are provided at the back of the downloadable PDF resource.

Topics Include:

• Measuring speeds
• Motion formulas
• Choosing units
• Calculating speed
• Graphing motion situations
• Speed vs velocity
• Factors that affect breaking
• Calculating and graphing acceleration
