Acceleration ... speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.
The roller coaster and the racecar.

Speed ... distance traveled and how much time it takes.
The cyclist and the athlete.

Velocity ... a speed AND its direction.
The geese.

the first box is Acceleration
the second box is Speed
the third box is Speed
the fourth box is velocity
the fifth box is Speed.

The reason the first box is acceleration is because let's say you are about to go up a hill you need to add acceleration to make it up the hill, I was going to say speed but it wouldn't said what mph was.

The reason the second, third,and fifth box is speed is because it is telling up that an object is going _mph (the blank is where you put your estimate of speed of an object).

The reason the fourth box is velocity is because velocity is both magnitude and direction so in the fourth box it says that the race car made a slight left turn which is a direction that the car is going in.

Hope this helped :)
Have a great day
