Locomotion is the movement of a living organism from one place to another. Animals move to find food, water, shelter, or to escape from danger. Different animals use different body parts for locomotion, such as legs, wings, or fins.
For example a dog uses its legs to walk or run from one place to another. This movement is called locomotion.

Agitation is needed to clean clothes because soap breaks down the dirt, but the dirt still sticks to the cloth. When the clothes are rubbed, beaten, or moved around, friction is created. This friction loosens the dirt from the cloth, allowing the water to wash it away and make the clothes clean. 
For example If a shirt has mud on it, simply soaking it in soapy water may not clean it completely. Scrubbing it with a brush or washing it in a machine helps loosen the mud, making the shirt clean.
