The Physics 500 is a race where students time various things over a set
course.   They have to figure out how to find out what is the average speed
over the course.
You can have them crawl, walk backwards, skip, hop on one leg,
roll past on roller blades. The activity suggests that students make a table
of their data. distance, time and speed.
Make sure that you have somthing to measure the distance and something to
record the time , stopwatch. If you don't have stop watches many students
have digital watches which would work.
If you want to make it more structured, have students stand at given
intervals with timers.
They all start their watches when the flagperson sees the person go past the
starting line and each stops the watch when the person passes their station.
I take my students out to the street in front of the school with them every
ten meters and we find out if the cars are speeding.
Good luck.
