Natural consequences are those which are imposed by nature. For example, if a student is running down the hall and falls down, the pain of the fall should cause him not to desire to run down the hall again. A logical consequence is a consequence imposed by a teacher and is directly related to the misbehavior. If a student leaves his trash at the lunch table, he may be required to pick up all the trash left behind by others in the lunch room for the next week. Natural and logical consequences work well in a classroom because they are not complex and do not require a lot of planning.
Natural consequences require no effort on the part of the teacher.
Overall, these consequences add to the positive environment within the classroom because the teacher and student are not seen as enemies when a misbehavior occurs.
