NASCAR fans love race day when they get a chance to cheer on their favorite team! If a driver was able to travel 600 miles in 3 hours, what was his average speed?
The fastest car on Earth, a British-made Thrust SSC, would win every NASCAR race in America. If it takes 0.5 hours (30 minutes) to travel 380 miles, what is its speed?
The fastest train on Earth, the TGV from France, can travel at faster speeds than trains in the United States. During a speed test, the train traveled 800 miles in 2.5 hours. What is its speed?
Spirit of Australia, a hydroplane boat, made speed records by traveling 239 miles in 0.75 hours (45 minutes). What is its record-breaking speed?
The fastest plane ever made, the Lockheed SR71, was able to travel 2200 miles per hour. Based on this speed, how far could it travel in:
2 hours? b. 3 hours? c. 5 hours?

Congratulations! You have finished your first lab in Ms. Harwood's class.
Now, it is time for an individual assessment.
Gummy Bear Lab Report
Using your findings in the lab, you are going to create a lab report using a presentation tool.
This presentation tool may be a:
- Powerpoint
- Prezi
- Poster
- Google Drive Presentation
- Or any other ideas that need to be approved by me.
1.You are going to cover the eight topics that are discussed within the rubric handout that was given in class.
2.Be sure to explain each and every category of the report.
3. The data table and graph that are to be used are your "Before and After" data, NOT your class data as a whole.
4. Be sure to explain why or why not your hypothesis worked, or didn't work.
5. BE SPECIFIC!
