⏃ Speed & Motion
This quiz explores how objects move at different speeds and what makes them change how fast they go. You'll compare the speeds of everyday items, understand that forces are needed for movement, and predict how pushing or pulling changes an object's motion. By the end, you'll be able to measure or estimate relative speeds in simple scenarios. **What you'll learn:** - Identify and compare speeds of familiar objects (fast, slow, faster, slower) - Recognize that movement requires force - Predict how forces change an object's speed and direction - Estimate and measure relative speeds in everyday situations
