Speed is how fast something is moving. Imagine a race between a turtle and a rabbit. The rabbit is much faster, so it has a higher speed! We can measure speed by how far something travels in a certain amount of time. If a toy car goes a long way in a short time, it's moving fast. If it only goes a little way in the same time, it's moving slowly. Let's get to the speed of movement practice questions for second graders.
