Speed is NOT distance/time ❌

Speed is NOT distance divided by time. Please STOP dumbing it down! There are three problems of doing that. [1] You lose opportunity to discuss what distance over time REALLY is. Science is about thinking and this is a great thinking exercise for kids. [2] You lose the opportunity to discuss actual application of distance/time. distance/time has an incredible application in life. Your google maps work on the same idea. [3] You create misconceptions about how to find speed. Distance/time doesn't give you the speed you see in the speedometers. So, here's what I think we should do.
