Classify speed and direction
Grade 2 students investigate motion in this Physical Science worksheet, classifying objects and situations by their speed — fast, slow, faster, slower — and by the direction they are traveling, building the vocabulary and conceptual framework for understanding force and motion. Teachers can use it alongside a hands-on activity using toy cars or balls to make abstract motion concepts visible and measurable. This skill connects directly to Newton's foundational ideas about how forces change speed and direction.
Learning objectives
- Classify objects as moving fast or slow and identify their direction of motion
- Compare the speed and direction of different moving objects
- Connect observations about speed and direction to the concept of force
