Exploration

4. Distance and Speed

Unit Overview

In this unit, students will use distance and the size of the pictures to determine
near/far and understand the relation between distance and time for finding
what is faster or slower.
Whether something is far or near depends on the starting point. Students
must learn how to compare the distance between themselves and other
objects or people.
