This problem addresses direction, distance, and speed by having students develop ways to use time and distance to describe speed. Students determine the winner of a race between a beetle that moves fast with intermittent pauses and a beetle that moves at a slow but steady pace. An optional extension is for students to calculate and compare the average speeds of the beetles. This problem can be adapted to any race, including races run by the students, where the split times are likely to vary over the course of the race. The goal is to get students to understand the difference between being faster over a short distance versus faster averaged over a larger distance. A materials list, teacher background information, safety practices, assessment, and outcomes are provided. This book selection includes the Table of Contents, Preface, Catalog of Problems, Acknowledgments, About the Authors, Image Credits, and Index.
