An interactive resource that uses tennis to introduce the equation Speed = distance/time. Students serve the tennis ball and are asked to calculate its speed, or the time available for a player to reach the net to return a shot. An accompanying worksheet expands on the presentation and includes an outdoor activity for students to measure time and speed on a tennis court.

If you have an interactive whiteboard then this game makes a great starter or plenary. Pupils have to press the correct 'button' on the board before the time runs out, from a choice of conduction, convection and radiation. Lots of fun noises!
