Understanding the concepts of speed, velocity and types of
motion is the basis from which further understanding of movement (kinematics)
and forces (dynamics) will be built, in particular the concepts introduced
by Newton's Laws. The use of online activities will help reinforce the
concepts learned in the classroom and with the hands-on activities.
