What are twists?

Twists are fun ways to change something by turning it, just like when you twist the cap off a water bottle.

Imagine you have a straw, and you turn it slowly in your hand, like you're spinning it. That’s a twist! When you do this, the straw moves from one position to another in a smooth, circular way. Now think of a screw: when you twist it into a wall, it goes deeper with every turn.

A twist is like taking something and giving it a little spin, making it move or change shape. You can twist things like:

• A rubber band around your wrist
• A door handle to open the door
• A shoe lace when you tie your shoes

Each time you turn, you're doing a twist, and with every twist, something gets more turned or moved. Just like how turning the knob on a faucet makes water come out faster! Twists are fun ways to change something by turning it, just like when you twist the cap off a water bottle.
