* They both measure how fast something is moving. Speed tells you how much distance is covered in a given time, and velocity tells you how much distance is covered in a given time *and* in what direction.

However, they are not the same thing. Here's why:

* Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction. Speed is a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude.

Think of it this way:

* Speed: A car traveling at 60 miles per hour.

* Velocity: A car traveling at 60 miles per hour north.
