RATIONALE: This lesson is on Distance time graphs, Teacher exposition discussion and question and
answer methods will be used. This lesson will develop learner’s knowledge about Scalar and vector
quantities. The skill of Identification of Scalar and vector quantities .The value of Curiosity in using
travel graphs
LEARNING OUTCOMES: L.S.B.A.T:
 Compute average speed, distance and time
PREREQUISITE KNOWLEDGE: Learners have ideas about the topic being taught.
LESSON INTRODUCTION: Brainstorming questions about the topic being taught will be used to
introduce the topic and to revise through the previous lesson

ACTIVITY

DISTANCE-TIME GRAPHS Teacher to

The relationship between distance ,time and speed is given write formulas
by the formula to be used Learners to listen attentively
Speed ,cover S so that S= D when solve
T problems
involving
Time ,cover T, so that T= D distance time
S graph

Distance ,cover D so that D=S T=speed time

EXAMPLE
A car drives 5kms to 4 minute's
a. write down the speed of the car in kilometers per minute's Teacher to Learners to write the examples in their
(km/min) write the exercise books
b. how far does the car travel in one hour example on
c. what is the speed of the car in kilometers per hours the board
(km/h)
d. what distance can the car drive in 90 minutes
e. how long will it take the car to drive 164km
Teacher to
SOLUTON solve on the
board and Learners to listen attentively and ask
a. Speed = Distance9Km¿
Time(min) = 54 =1.25km/min allows questions
¿ learners to
b. Distance =speed time =1.25km 60m=75km
¿ ¿ ask questions
c. speed =75km
d. Distance =speed time =75km 1.5h=112.5km

2. A train travels at an average speed of 100km/h

a. if the train travels for one and a half hours ,what distance
does it cover
b. how long does the train take to cover 50km/h
3. The Olympic swimmer chad le clo won the 200m bitterly
race for men in 1min.52.96s at the London Olympic in 2012
a. calculate his speed in metres per second (m/s)
b .convert his swimming speed to kilometers per hour (km/h)
