Talking Points
- "Motocross is a type of motorcycle racing done on off-road circuits."
- "People have been racing motorcycles off-road for many years, and it has become a popular sport around the world."
- "When we draw our dream Motocross track, we can include jumps, turns, and obstacles that make the race exciting."
- "In Math, we can calculate how fast a Motocross bike is going by dividing the distance it traveled by the time it took."
- "In Physical Education, we practice skills like balance and agility that are important for Motocross riders to have."
- "Science can help us understand how different surfaces, like sand or mud, can affect how a motorcycle moves."
