What is attract?

Attract means to pull something toward you, just like when you use a magnet.

Imagine you have a toy car and a magnet. If you put the magnet near the toy car, the car moves toward the magnet, that’s what attract means! It's like when your friend is playing with their favorite toy, and you want to play with it too, you go over to them and pull the toy toward you.

Sometimes, things don’t need a magnet or someone pulling them. Think about when you have two magnets that are facing the same way, they push each other away. But if you turn one around, they attract each other and stick together!

You can also think of it like when you're on a swing. If your friend pushes you, you go higher, that’s kind of like being attracted to motion.

So next time you see something moving toward you, remember: it might be because it's being attracted!
