To demonstrate velocity and acceleration, students use dowels and rubber bands to build a reconfigurable model of a classic labyrinthine ball-and-hole game.


The Maze Game simulator by PhET, interactive, research-based simulations of physical phenomena from the PhET project at the University of Colorado, is a thoroughly enjoyable way to teach Velocity and Acceleration. The Maze Game Activities by Trish Loeblein proved to be a valuable resource for expanding the lesson.
