Class 2 - Investigating natural forces (wind and wave power)

Many children hold misconceptions about the nature of water waves. One common misconception is that waves are generated from within the water. Although that may appear to be true, most waves -- and certainly the waves most children see -- are actually generated by wind. As wind travels across the water's surface, it pushes against the water.
To witness the same an activity based on the investagation of wave and wind power was conducted to reinforce the concept of natural forces and given children an idea about how the  force applied affects the speed of the boat.
To investogate the wind power students used a straw and to investigate the wave power,they generated waves using a fork/spoon.
