Air Around Us Class 2 Notes EVS

How Do We Define Air?

Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Can you feel the air filling your lungs? That's the incredible power of air, surrounding us all the time, even though we can't see it.

What is air?

• Air is invisible, it silently supports our every day life. 
• It's made up of tiny, invisible particles called molecules, buzzing around us like tiny bees in a hive. 
• These molecules are what we breathe in and out, giving us the oxygen we need to live and play.

What is Wind?

• When the air starts to move, it creates something magical – wind! 
• Sometimes it's as gentle as a whisper, caressing our cheeks with a soft touch. 
• Other times, it's as fierce as a lion's roar, bending trees and sending leaves swirling through the air.

Have you ever felt the wind's playful embrace?

Moving air is called wind.

Air Supports Everyday Life

• Air is like a silent partner in so many adventures! It lifts colourful kites high into the sky, letting them dance among the clouds.
•  It carries the songs of birds through the air, filling the world with music. 
• And have you ever seen a balloon soar gracefully into the sky? That's air's gentle push!

Guardians of the Atmosphere

• Just like we care for our homes, we need to care for our air too! 
• Sometimes, things like smoke from cars and factories make the air dirty, and pollutes our atmosphere.
• But we can be superheroes too by planting trees, which act as nature's air purifiers, and by always keeping our environment clean and green!

Fun Facts About Air

• Did you know that air has weight? Even though we can't see it, it presses down on everything around us, like a big invisible blanket.
• Air is also a fantastic artist! It paints the sky with breathtaking colors during sunsets and sunrises, turning the clouds into a canvas of vibrant hues.
• And here's another cool fact – when you blow air into a soap bubble wand, it creates magical bubbles that float and shimmer in the sunlight!

Conclusion
