Part 1 of the series looked at teaching speed and velocity. Part 2 considers the teaching of acceleration in physics. Teachers may find it okay to hurry through the concepts of speed and velocity because they are intuitive. But teachers cannot hurry through acceleration quite so quickly because it is not intuitive. Whereas velocity is a rate of covering distance, acceleration is a rate of the rate of covering distance--or even a rate of turning. This can be twice as complicated for the learner, and, as said, it is not intuitive. An understanding of acceleration will be crucial for understanding Newton's second law--the law that got humans to the Moon in 1969.
