Speed is the change in distance over time, or v = s / t in units of meters / second, for example.
Velocity is the same thing as speed with a direction included, such as 100 m/s northeast.
Acceleration is a change in velocity over time, or a = v / t, for example 100 m/s/s = 100 m/s^2. The change can either be in speed or direction or both.

In order to understand the difference between speed and velocity, you must first understand the difference between distance and displacement.

Speed = Distance /Time
Velocity = Displacement / Time

speed=distance travelled/time
velocity=displacement/time
Speed is a scalar, but velocity is a vector, which includes + or - sign that indicates the direction.

Speed is the time integral of acceleration or the time derivative of position
