The Formula 550 is a strategic card game. You "race" by playing Acceleration
cards to accelerate and Attack cards to stop other players.
Once stopped you need to play Service cards before you can move
again. Super cards protect you from the attacks.

What will you learn?
The game requires you to use the equations for straight-line motion to determine
how far you have travelled. Each turn you determine your average velocity
and distance using the following equations:
Vf = Vo + at
Vave = ½(Vo + Vf)
dturn = Vave t
|
What will you get?
You can order single decks or a class pack which includes five decks of cards
and a manual with activities, overhead masters, and
assessments.
|
How can it be used?
You can use the game to initially learn the equations of motion or to
reinforce their application once the students have learned them. Once the
students have learned the game they can play it throughout the year
on special occasions. |
