πŸ“š Quick Study Guide

  • 🍎 What is Motion? Motion is simply the act of changing position. If something moves from one place to another, it's in motion!
  • πŸš— Speed: Speed tells us how fast something is moving. It's calculated as: $Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$
  • ⏱️ Time: Time is how long it takes for something to move.
  • πŸ“ Distance: Distance is how far something moves.
  • ⬆️ Direction: Direction tells us which way something is moving (e.g., north, south, east, west).
  • 🎒 Examples of Motion: Running, jumping, a car driving, a bird flying, and even the Earth spinning!
