The Speed is Distance Over Time Song - No spoken introduction

This is the same song as the "Speed Is Distance Over Time" song with no spoken introduction. Mr. Edmonds rocks out with another song (to the tune of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough") to reinforce motion concepts such as speed, velocity, acceleration, and deceleration. The words go fast - so get ready! Words and Chords are in "Docs" section on TeacherTube for "dsecms".
Here is an awesome link to a video a teacher produced for this song:

WORDS BELOW:
THE SPEED, VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION SONG
Words by Mr. Doug Edmonds
To the tune of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" Composer: Valerie Simpson

Beginning countdown: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8, 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8, 1-2-3-4 5-6-7-8,
1-2-3-4-5-6

1) (BOYS) Remember how fast --- you ran that race.
You didn't skip a beat --- you quickly increased the pace.

(GIRLS) You traveled more ground --- in much less time,
You accelerated more --- each second to the finish line
Well, runner you know ... (ALL) Speed is distance (REFRAIN)

Refrain:
Speed is distance over time.
Meters per second's an example so fine.
Velocity's more -- cuz there's DIRECTION implied.
It's all about the way you move, now!


2) (GIRLS) But when you slowed down --- and didn't gain much ground,
Evr'y second you ran, you de-cel-er-ated then,
(BOYS) But then you set your mind --- to win that race,
Accelerate the pace --- almost like you were bein' chased.
Well, runner you know ... (ALL) Speed is distance (REFRAIN) INSTRUMENTAL
OOOOOHHHH! AH--- AH----- OOOOOOH OOOOH!

3) (BOYS) Remember how fast --- you ran that race.
You didn't skip a beat --- you quickly increased the pace.

(GIRLS) You traveled more ground --- in much less time,
You accelerated more --- each second to the finish line
Well, runner you know ... (ALL) Speed is distance (REFRAIN, then final refrain)

Final refrain:
Speed is distance over time.
Meters per second's an example so fine.
Velocity's more -- cuz there's DIRECTION implied.
Speed is distance over time ..... Speed is distance over time.

Thank you! I'll check it out.

I love this song! We've watched it everyday for the past three days in Science. How do you come up with this?

[dsecms]

I sit down with an idea, start thinking of songs that may go with some key words, and in about 2-3 hours I have a song!

Awesome video ! Check my channel as well

where I have ' How Steep is your slope' for distance x time and speed x time graphs.

My singing is rubbish though...

Its good but I can't get it out my head xD
