Meera lived in a tiny village with tall trees and bright flowers. She loved to ask questions. Her shiny eyes and bouncy hair showed how excited she was to explore each new day.

One sunny day Meera and her friends, Arjun and Tara, found a spot at the village edge. It looked empty, yet their feet felt soft sand. A hidden playground was there, but all the toys were invisible!

Curious, they stepped in. Meera felt round pebbles, Tara touched a smooth rail. Arjun bumped a hanging seat. He sat, and whoosh—the unseen swing carried him up toward the sky!

'Look, I'm flying!' Arjun laughed. Tara clapped. 'I only see air!' Meera waved below. The invisible swing moved back and forth while Arjun giggled like a bird on breeze.

Meera reached out. Her hands found a cool, slanted path. 'A slide!' she gasped. It felt like firm wind. Slowly she climbed invisible steps, ready for a speedy ride.

Zip! She zoomed down the unseen slide, twisting and turning. Her squeals made Arjun and Tara race up next. Their laughter filled the empty-looking space.

News spread fast. More children arrived, sitting on quiet boards that bobbed like boats. The invisible seesaws lifted and dipped with happy squeaks.

They felt tickly bars above their heads and tiny bumps for climbing. Every touch was a surprise puzzle. Giggles echoed across the strange clear playground.

Spinning on an unseen merry-go-round, Meera asked, 'Why don't we fall? It feels like flying!' The others agreed it was safe but mysterious.

'Maybe it's magic,' Arjun said, trying a loop in mid-air. Tara smiled, 'Or a friendly ghost pushes us!' Their imaginations raced.

A gentle voice said, 'No ghosts, just clever science! Invisible beams hold the toys, and gravity keeps your feet near Earth.' The children turned toward the sound.

An elderly lady stepped forward. 'I'm Granny Nisha. I built this playground so kids can feel science with their own bodies while they play,' she said with a warm grin.
Page 13
'Every ride teaches a force,' Granny Nisha said. 'The swing shows gravity, the slide shows friction, the roundabout shows momentum.' The children listened wide-eyed.
Page 14
Tara wondered, 'What is friction?' Granny replied, 'It's the gentle rub that slows you at the slide's bottom so you stop safely instead of zooming away.'

Meera asked about momentum. Granny spun the merry-go-round. 'Feel how it keeps moving after my hands leave? That steady push is momentum!'
Page 16
'Gravity is an invisible rope pulling you down,' Granny said. 'When you swing high, the rope tugs you back.' The kids nodded, feeling the pull in their tummies.

Arjun slid again. 'It feels like cool jelly!' he laughed. The friends cheered, testing each ride, now knowing the hidden science words.

Meera tried the swing and looped once. Tara saw her hair swirl. 'We really are learning while floating!' Arjun said, amazed.

'Science is real magic,' Granny winked. The children grinned, loving the thought of being little scientists.

They played all day, testing every clear ladder and bar, using new words like friction and gravity as they talked.
Page 21
On swings they felt gravity, on slides friction, on the roundabout momentum. Each ride turned a science idea into giggles.

At sunset they thanked Granny Nisha and promised to return. The Invisible Playground stayed their favorite place to learn, laugh, and imagine.
