This activity challenges students to undertake some research, calculate with measurements and different units, and make comparisons, and has a number of different parts aimed at students across both Key Stages 4 and 5. For younger students, concentrate on the first few questions dealing with speed, distance and time. Older students studying mechanics and physics may be interested to explore questions on acceleration, stresses and strains.
