💨 Speed and Movement Direction
This quiz explores how we describe and compare the speed of moving objects, and how direction is an important part of motion. You'll learn to distinguish between fast and slow movements, understand relative motion, and recognize that motion always happens in a direction. Perfect for Grade 2 learners building foundational physics concepts! **What you'll learn:** - How speed describes how fast or slow something moves - The difference between fast and slow movements - That motion always has a direction - How to compare speeds of different objects - What relative motion means

Which pair of movements shows comparing speeds?
- Question 9
If a child is running to the right as fast as they can, what information about their motion are we describing?
