Year 2: Science Printable Resources & Free Worksheets for Kids ... - Free Printable

Sure! Let’s solve this worksheet step by step. The task is to put the items in each group in order starting with the slowest — that means from slowest to fastest.

This is a Year 2 Science activity about “Forces and movement,” so we’re comparing relative speeds of different things based on common knowledge.

---

🔢 Group 1: A boy running, A baby crawling, A boy walking

- Slowest: A baby crawling — babies move very slowly when crawling.
- Middle: A boy walking — walking is slower than running.
- Fastest: A boy running — running is faster than walking.

✔ Order:
A baby crawling → A boy walking → A boy running

---

🔢 Group 2: An aeroplane, A bicycle, A car

- Slowest: A bicycle — bikes are generally slower than cars (unless racing or going downhill, but normally).
- Middle: A car — cars are faster than bikes but slower than planes.
- Fastest: An aeroplane — planes fly very fast, especially commercial jets.

✔ Order:
A bicycle → A car → An aeroplane

*(Note: Some might argue a race car is faster than some small planes, but in general education context, aeroplanes are considered much faster.)*

🔢 Group 3: A hamster, A dog, A snail

- Slowest: A snail — famously slow-moving.
- Middle: A hamster — hamsters can run quickly for their size, but not as fast as a dog.
- Fastest: A dog — dogs can run quite fast (e.g., greyhounds up to 45 mph).

✔ Order:
A snail → A hamster → A dog

🔢 Group 4: A train, A space rocket, A horse and cart

- Slowest: A horse and cart — old-fashioned transport, very slow compared to modern vehicles.
- Middle: A train — trains can be fast (especially high-speed), but still slower than rockets.
- Fastest: A space rocket — rockets go extremely fast to escape Earth’s gravity (thousands of miles per hour).

✔ Order:
A horse and cart → A train → A space rocket

🔢 Group 5: A boy swimming, A speed boat, A rowing boat

- Slowest: A boy swimming — humans swim much slower than boats.
- Middle: A rowing boat — powered by human oars, so relatively slow.
- Fastest: A speed boat — designed to go very fast on water.

✔ Order:
A boy swimming → A rowing boat → A speed boat

---

## ✔ Final Answers:

1) A baby crawling — A boy walking — A boy running
2) A bicycle — A car — An aeroplane
3) A snail — A hamster — A dog
4) A horse and cart — A train — A space rocket
5) A boy swimming — A rowing boat — A speed boat

💡 Teaching Tip: This activity helps children understand relative speed and how different forces (muscle power, engine power, etc.) affect movement. It also encourages logical thinking and real-world comparisons.
