What are structures?

A structure is just something built to hold things up or keep things together, like a toy tower made from blocks.

Imagine you have a pile of blocks on the floor, they’re all loose and can fall apart easily. But if you stack them neatly, one on top of another, they become a structure, and they stay standing because each block helps support the ones above it.

Think about your favorite building toy, maybe LEGO or Duplo bricks. When you put them together in different ways, like making a house or a bridge, those are all structures too! Each piece has a job to do: some hold things up, others connect parts together, and all of them work as a team.

You see structures everywhere, your bed is a structure because it holds you up when you sleep. A chair is a structure that lets you sit down. Even the door in your house is part of a bigger structure, like a wall or a room.

So, a structure is just something made to stand strong and help things stay in place, and you build them every day!
