- Gravity: The child observed how the skydivers fell towards the ground due to the force of gravity.
- Air resistance: The child noticed how the skydivers' parachutes slowed down their descent by creating air resistance.
- Terminal velocity: The child learned that skydivers reach a maximum speed called terminal velocity, where the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance.
- Forces: The child understood that the skydivers experienced two opposing forces, gravity pulling them down and air resistance pushing against their motion.
- Acceleration: The child observed how the skydivers initially accelerated as they fell, but their speed eventually stabilized.
Continued development: Encourage the child to explore more about the forces of gravity and air resistance. They can conduct simple experiments at home, such as dropping different objects from different heights and observing how they fall. Additionally, they can learn about other extreme sports or activities that involve the principles of physics, such as bungee jumping or zip-lining, and discuss how forces and motion play a role in those activities.
