A Scalar value is considered to only need a magnitude. A magnitude is just a value. Speed is considered a scalar quantity since it does not tell you anything about direction, just that's it's going 60 mph.

A vector quantity is made up of both a magnitude and a direction. An example is velocity. Velocity you state how fast you are going, and the direction in which you are going in.
