Success Criteria:

1. Define acceleration and differentiate it from speed and velocity
2. Calculate acceleration using a formula triangle (change in velocity = acceleration x time
3. Draw a speed time graph to calculate acceleration
4. Conclude and justify why mass does not affect acceleration whilst on earth (F= ma)

Activities:

1. Complete a time/speed/acceleration table using a formula triangle
2. Design and conduct an experiment that investigates how balls of different masses accelerates down a ramp
3. Complete a write up of acceleration rates of various mass of ball experiment, focusing on graphing skills, graph analysis, with an effective conclusion detailing limitations of the investigation
