More About motion

Long ago, people watched how things moved. They saw that things could go fast or slow. They learned to use this to help them. Now, we know a lot about motion!

Motion is in our lives every day. When we walk, run, or ride a bike, we are in motion. It helps us play and have fun with friends!

In the future, we will learn more about motion. We might find new ways to move fast or make things fly. Motion will always be a big part of our lives!
