The image you've uploaded is a science worksheet titled
"Forces" from a series of educational materials, likely aimed at young students learning about basic physics concepts. The goal of the worksheet is to help children understand how forces are applied in everyday situations.

🔍 Task Breakdown:
#### 1.
Example Given:
-
Image: A child blowing bubbles.
-
Explanation: "Blowing to make bubbles move"
- This illustrates that
blowing air (a force) causes the bubbles to move — demonstrating that a force can change an object’s motion.
---
✔ Instructions on the Worksheet:
> *"Now draw three activities that you do that exert force."*
This means the student needs to:
1. Think of
three real-life activities where they apply a force.
2.
Draw each activity in one of the three blank boxes provided.
3. Optionally, write a short description (though not explicitly required here).
---
🎯 Solution & Explanation:
Here are
three common examples of activities where a person exerts a force:
---
####
✔ 1. Pushing a shopping cart
-
Force Applied: Pushing forward with hands.
-
Effect: The cart moves forward.
-
Why it's a force: You are applying a push to overcome friction and set the cart in motion.
✔ *Drawing idea:* A person pushing a shopping cart in a supermarket.
---
####
✔ 2. Kicking a soccer ball
-
Force Applied: Foot hits the ball.
-
Effect: The ball flies through the air.
-
Why it's a force: The kick transfers energy and changes the ball’s motion (from rest to moving).
✔ *Drawing idea:* A child kicking a ball on a field.
---
####
✔ 3. Pulling a wagon
-
Force Applied: Pulling the handle with arms.
-
Effect: The wagon moves backward (or forward depending on direction).
-
Why it's a force: Pulling overcomes resistance and moves the wagon.
✔ *Drawing idea:* A child pulling a wagon with toys inside.

💡 How to Complete the Worksheet:
1. In each of the
three boxes, draw one of the above scenarios.
2. Make sure the drawings clearly show:
- A person
- An object being pushed or pulled
- Direction of movement (optional: use arrows)
3. If allowed, write a short label like:
- "Pushing a cart"
- "Kicking a ball"
- "Pulling a wagon"

📌 Key Concept:
>
A force is a push or a pull that can change the motion of an object.
Even small actions like blowing, pulling, or pushing involve forces!
