Short stories for kids

Friction

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Nikki. She loved to play with her toy car on the floor. One day, she noticed that her toy car was not moving as fast on the carpet as it did on the smooth floor. She tried to push it harder but it still didn’t go as fast.

Nikki asked her father about why was this happening. Her father explained that the carpet was rough and bumpy which made it harder for the wheels of the car to turn. This is called friction.

Nikki realised that friction is actually like a force that slows things down when they rub against each other. It happens when two things are pushed together and one thing tries to slide over the other thing.

Her father showed her how she could make the car go faster by putting it on a smooth surface like a table or a wooden floor. The wheels of the car could turn more easily because there was less friction.

Greenhouse effect

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Nikki. She loved playing outside in the sun. One day, she noticed that it was getting hotter and hotter outside.

She asked her father why it was so hot. Her father explained that the sun was shining down on Earth and warming it up. But some of the heat was getting trapped inside Earth’s atmosphere by gases like carbon dioxide and methane. This is called the greenhouse effect.
It’s like when you go into a greenhouse where plants grow. The glass walls trap the heat inside so that the plants can grow even when it’s cold outside .

Nikki understood that the greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when gases in Earth’s atmosphere trap the Sun’s heat. This process makes Earth much warmer than it would be without an atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is one of the things that makes Earth a comfortable place to live.

Nikki’s Impression about Greenhouse effect

Gravity

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Nikki. She loved to jump and play all day long.
One day, she went to the park with her father. While playing on the swings, Nikki noticed something strange. Whenever she jumped off the swing, she always landed back on the ground. She wondered why she didn’t fly away into the sky.
Nikki asked her father about it. He told her that it was because of gravity.
Gravity is what keeps us on the ground and stops us from floating away into space. He explained that everything in the world has gravity, even the Earth.

Nikki was amazed by this and wanted to learn more about gravity.
She started watching videos about it on YouTube. She also came to know about the story of Newton and falling apple. She learned that gravity is what makes things fall down when we drop them and what keeps the planets in our solar system orbiting around the sun.

From that day on, Nikki had a new appreciation for gravity. She knew that it was what kept her safe and allowed her to play on the swings without flying away into space.

Time Travel

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Nikki, who loved to explore new things. One day, Nikki found a strange machine in her backyard. It had a big red button that said ‘Time Travel’.

Nikki was curious and decided to press the button. Suddenly, she found herself in the year 2033. She was amazed to see the changes that had happened since her time. Everything seemed to be so advanced and modern.

She saw robots walking around and flying cars in the sky. She also noticed that the people were wearing funny clothes and hairstyles. Everything was so different from what she was used to.

As she continued to explore the future, Nikki made some friends. She had a great time playing with the robots and learning about all the new technology.

One day, Nikki decided to go back to her own time. She said goodbye to her new friends and pressed the red button again. As soon as she did, she found herself back in her backyard.

Nikki was so excited about her time travel adventure. She couldn’t wait to tell all her friends about what she experienced. She was sure they wouldn’t believe her, but that didn’t matter. Nikki knew she had seen the future and it was an amazing experience.

Environment Conservation

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Nikki who loved the outdoors. She enjoyed going for walks in the nearby Park and playing in the park on Sundays.

One day, as Nikki was playing in the park, she noticed that the park looked different. It was much dirtier than it used to be. She also noticed that there were trashes full of plastic bottles and wrappers here and there. She was sad to see this and wondered what she could do to help.

Nikki decided to start picking up the trash around the park. Even though she couldn’t pick up all of the trash, she made sure to pick up as much as she could, and throw it away in the garbage.

After a few weeks, Nikki noticed that the park was getting cleaner and the green grasses coming back. She was so proud of her efforts and continued to pick up trash whenever she went for a walk.

Soon, Nikki’s friends saw what she was doing and started helping out too. Everyone in her society began to help keep their environment clean and it was a much nicer place to live.

Nikki was proud that she had made a difference and her story spread far and wide. People everywhere began to realize the importance of taking care of the environment and conserving our natural resources.

Solar System

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Nikki. She was an adventurous kid who wanted to explore the solar system. Realising her desire to take a trip of solar system, her father purchased 4 VR headsets and created a temporary small spaceship shaped studio in her study room with facility of Augmented Reality. She alongwith her elder sister Gungun and Parents piled into this spaceship and set off on their exciting journey!

First, they flew past the sun, admiring its bright light and heat. Then they zoomed by Mercury, the closest planet to the sun. After that, they went to Venus, the second planet, and saw that it was covered in thick clouds.

Next, they visited Earth, the third planet. Here, they were able to get out of their spaceship and explore the amazing sights and sounds of their home planet.

After saying goodbye to Earth, the family flew past Mars and saw its red surface. They also stopped by Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, and admired its huge size and its many moons.

Finally, the family flew past Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune and marveled at their beautiful rings and icy surfaces. They also saw Pluto from a distance, which was earlier claimed to be a planet but not now.

When the family returned home, they all agreed that their tour of the solar system was an adventure they would never forget!

Water Cycle

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Nikki. Once she was sleeping and she saw a dream that she has become a droplet of water. Nikki lived happily in a river, until one day in the heat of the sun, she was whisked away by the wind and carried high up into the sky.

She was so scared! But eventually, she realized that she was part of an amazing journey – the water cycle! She was able to see the world from a whole new perspective and was amazed at the beauty of the clouds and the sun.

Soon, Nikki and her fellow water droplets grew heavy in the sky and fell back to the earth as rain. Nikki was so excited to be back in the river, and even more excited to be part of the water cycle.

The water cycle is an amazing thing, and Nikki was so happy that she was part of it. Every time it rains, Nikki remembers her journey and is thankful for being part of such a beautiful process.

Electrical Safety

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Nikki. She and her family of four lived in a quiet neighborhood. They were a happy family and enjoyed spending time together.

One day, the family decided to do some renovations to their home. They wanted to make sure that everything was up to safety standards, so they called in an electrical specialist to inspect their wiring.

The specialist carefully checked every outlet and switch in the home. He found that some of the outlets were not properly grounded and could pose a serious risk of electric shock. He also found that some of the wiring was outdated and needed to be replaced.

The specialist explained the dangers of the faulty wiring to the family. He showed them how to properly use outlets and switches and explained the importance of unplugging appliances when not in use. He also showed them how to recognize the signs of an electrical fire and how to respond in the event of one.

Nikki was very thankful for the electrical specialist’s advice and vowed to always follow his advice when it came to electrical safety.

The family was now safe from any electrical hazards and could rest easy knowing that their home was up to the highest safety standards. And they all lived happily ever after.

Artificial Intelligence

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Nikki who loved robots. She dreamed of having a robot of her own one day, but since she was only a child, this seemed impossible.

One day, while she was out walking in the park, she noticed something strange. A robot had been left in the park! It was an unusual robot, unlike any she had seen before. Nikki quickly realized that this robot was no ordinary robot. It was an artificial intelligence robot, which meant it could think and act on its own.

Nikki was so excited to have found a robot of her own. She decided to take the robot home and teach it all sorts of things. She taught it to play games, do math equations, read books, and even write stories.

The robot quickly became part of the family and helped Nikki with her schoolwork. It also became her best friend. Nikki and the robot would spend hours talking and playing together.

Soon, Nikki realized how amazing artificial intelligence was. She began to dream about what else she could teach her robot to do. She even began to think of ways to use artificial intelligence to help people in need.

Nikki was so proud of what she had accomplished. She had created a robot that was able to think and act on its own. Artificial intelligence had changed her life, and she was determined to keep learning more about it.
