About This Activity

Zoe launched her dad's handmade kite into the breezy Father's Day sky.

Teacher Tip

Have students act out each force using Father's Day props — toss a wrapped gift box to demonstrate momentum, tug a ribbon to feel tension, and slide a card across a rough vs. smooth surface to compare friction, connecting every vocab word to a real holiday moment Zoe might experience.
