2.  How fast or slow something moves.  Ex: Ms. McKinley’s Dodge Neon drives 70 mph down the 110 Fwy.  UNIT: distance unit divided by a time unit (ex: m/s, mi/h, km/h)

3.  Velocity tells how fast something is going AND in what direction  Change in Velocity can be due to: Change in Speed Change in Direction Or Change in BOTH speed AND direction.  Example: Ms. McKinley’s Dodge Neon drives 70 mph NORTH on the 110 Fwy.

4.  Change in VELOCITY  Can happen in 3 ways: 1. Speeding up (+) 2. Slowing Down (-) 3. Changing Direction

5.  SPEED: change in POSITION over time  VELOCITY: change in POSITION over time, including DIRECTION  ACCELERATION: change in VELOCITY
