Identify speed
Grade 1 students identify and compare the speed of different objects or animals as part of a Comparing strand in Scientific and Engineering Practices, laying the groundwork for understanding motion. Teachers can use this worksheet to bridge everyday observations — a running dog versus a crawling snail — to scientific language about speed. It suits introductory science lessons where students practice describing and ordering objects based on a measurable property.
Learning objectives
- Identify which of two or more objects is moving faster or slower based on observations
- Order objects or events by speed from slowest to fastest or vice versa
- Use comparative language to describe and discuss the speed of objects
