Scalar or vector?

This resource reinforces the concept of scalar and vector quantities. In the first task pupils are asked to define and give examples of each type of quantity. In the second task pupils are asked to identify the quantities that could be measured on a lorry and the third task asks pupils to categorise them as scalar...

This video describes the key differences between vectors and scalars.  It explains that vectors depend upon both magnitude (amount) and direction, whereas scalars are dependent upon magnitude and are independent of direction.

Examples of vector quantities are listed as: displacement, velocity, acceleration,...
