Pages 35—36: Animal speed exploration.
The section discusses how animals can move at faster speeds compared to humans on land, in the sea, and in the air. It prompts a conversation about how humans have attempted to achieve higher speeds in these environments. The goal is for students to engage in a dialogue discussing different methods used by people to move faster on land, in water, and in the air. This activity encourages student participation and discussion, allowing them to think creatively about ways humans have sought to increase speed. The section also suggests that this activity can be used as an extension task if the class finishes the lesson early.
