Grade and Section:

Run 50!

Objectives:
At the end of the activity, you should be able to compute for speed, average speed and plot data in a graph.

Materials:
Measuring tool timer/stop watch calculator

Procedure:
1. Measure out 50 meters.
2. Choose 2 runners from your group.
3. Ask the 1st runner to run thrice. Record the time of completing the 50 meters.
4. Repeat the same procedure with the second runner. Record the time.
5. Create a graph showing the speed of the two runners.
