The lesson “Forces in Nature” explores how natural forces, such as wind and water, create movement in the environment. It highlights the impact of wind on activities like sailing and kite flying, as well as the role of flowing water in kayaking and surfing. The lesson encourages students to think about other natural forces that contribute to movement in nature.
  1. What are some things that wind can make move?
  2. How does water help things move, like a kayak or a surfer?
  3. Can you think of other forces in nature that can push or pull things?

Forces in Nature

Did you know that pushes and pulls can make things move? Well, guess what? There are pushes and pulls in nature too!

Wind Power

Wind is a powerful force in nature. It can push a sailboat across the water and make a kite fly high in the sky. When the kite flies, it can even pull a surfer along the water! Wind also makes windmills spin around and helps leaves dance through the air.

Water Power

Water is another force in nature that can make things move. When water flows in a river, it pushes a kayak downstream. Waves in the ocean can push a surfer along, letting them ride the wave!

Other Natural Forces

Can you think of other ways nature makes things move? Maybe the gentle push of a breeze or the strong pull of a river current? Nature is full of amazing forces that help things move in exciting ways!

Thanks for learning with us! See you next time!

  • Can you think of a time when you felt the wind pushing or pulling something? What was it, and how did it make you feel?
  • Have you ever seen water moving something, like a leaf floating down a stream or waves at the beach? What did you notice about how the water moved things?
  • What other forces in nature have you seen that can make things move? Can you share an example from your own experiences?
  1. Windy Day Adventure: Next time you’re outside on a windy day, take a small piece of paper or a leaf and let it go in the air. Watch how the wind pushes it around. Try running with a small kite or a paper airplane and see how the wind helps it fly. Can you feel the wind pushing against you too? Talk about how the wind is a force that can move things.

  2. Water Flow Experiment: Fill a shallow tray with water and create a small river using a piece of foil or a plastic spoon to guide the water. Place small objects like leaves or tiny paper boats in the water and watch how the water pushes them along. Discuss how the water acts as a force, just like in a real river or ocean.

  3. Nature’s Forces Hunt: Go on a nature walk with an adult and look for examples of forces in action. Can you find a stream where water is moving? Or a place where the wind is blowing leaves? Take notes or draw pictures of what you see. Share your findings with your class or family and talk about how these forces help things move in nature.

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

You have learned that pushes and pulls can make things move. Did you know there are pushes and pulls in nature too?

[Music]

Wind is a force in nature. It pushes the sailboat and the kite. The kite pulls the surfer. Wind makes windmills turn, and the leaves float through the air.

Moving water is a force in nature too. Water pushes the kayak down the river and pushes the surfer along the wave.

What are some other ways forces in nature make things move?
