Imagine a puppy and a turtle start moving at the exact same moment. Who will travel farther after five seconds?
Let's watch what happens when the clock starts ticking.
Fast and Slow
Distance is how far something moves, like counting steps across the room.
Time is how long an action takes, like counting seconds on a clock.
📊Interactive diagram
Both animals moved for five seconds, but the puppy traveled a much bigger distance.
Why did the puppy travel so much farther in the same time?
What Is Speed?
Speed tells us how much distance you cover during each unit of time, like in one single second.
If you have a high speed, you zoom across many steps every second.

The puppy moves 4 blocks in one second, while the turtle moves only 1 block.
