Calculating Average Speed, Velocity, and Displacement Lab Station Activity This editable high school physics lab station activity allows students to get out of their seats and actively engage with content on average speed, velocity, and displacement. The stations offer unique opportunities to test knowledge through hands-on tasks like drawing, answering questions based on videos, and more. Students are equipped with a recording sheet to document their work. The activity covers topics like scalar vs vector quantities, distance vs displacement, velocity, GPS and speedometers. Bonus word scramble and word search activities ensure students stay busy. An answer key is provided. Use the stations as a lab activity or test prep. With little prep required besides printing, the lab stations provide a valuable learning experience for students to complement your average speed and velocity instruction.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Calculate average speed, velocity and displacement
  • Distinguish distance from displacement
  • Explain how a speedometer measures speed

Teaching tips

  • Files are Word documents, so station cards and the passport can be edited to match your numbering or examples before printing.
  • Read the START HERE instructions first; they cover how the stations are set up.

Skills covered

  • Motion calculations — working station problems on speed, velocity and displacement
  • Reading science text — answering questions on the speedometer article
  • Recording results — logging each station's answers in the lab passport
