Forces - Movement and Speed

This quiz addresses the requirements of the National Curriculum KS1 Science for children aged 5 and 6 in years 1 and 2. Specifically this quiz is aimed at the section dealing with forces and how they affect movement and speed, for example walking or running.

Lots of things move about, on the spot or from place to place. We use force to move about, and animals move about too. Planes, trains, cars and ships move from place to place. They carry people and goods. How fast we are moving is called our speed. Scientists studying forces watch things moving and work out their speed. Can you answer all these questions about being on the move?
