A net is like a spider’s web. Imagine how a spider makes a web to catch things that fly by, like bugs. Nets are made of strings or ropes that are tied together, leaving little spaces in between. They can catch things, just like a spider’s web catches bugs.
Think of a fishing net. It’s like a big basket made of ropes, thrown into the water to catch fish. The fish swim into the net, and because the holes are small, they can’t swim out. This helps fishermen catch lots of fish at once.
When you play soccer, the net is at the back of the goal. When the ball goes into the net, it means you scored a point! The net helps keep the ball from going too far away, so you can keep playing.
In a game of butterfly catching, your net is a long stick with a circle of netting at the end. You use it to scoop up butterflies gently. The net is light and has holes, so the butterflies are safe and can breathe.
